Isolation, Identification, And Antibiotics Susceptibility Determination Of Proteus Species Obtained From Various Clinical Specimens In Erbil City, Treska Dhia Kamil, Sanaria Fawzi Jarjes Dec 2019

Isolation, Identification, And Antibiotics Susceptibility Determination Of Proteus Species Obtained From Various Clinical Specimens In Erbil City, Treska Dhia Kamil, Sanaria Fawzi Jarjes

Polytechnic Journal

Fifty-two Proteus isolates, (47) Proteus mirabilis, (4) Proteus vulgaris, and (1) Proteus hauseri are being isolated from (200) clinical specimens taken from patients admitted to different hospitals in Erbil city/Kurdistan region of Iraq. Specimens were of urine, wounds swabs, burn swabs, vaginal swabs, ear swabs, eye swabs, and sputum. All isolates were identified depending on cultural, morphological, biochemical characteristics, and confirmatory VITEK 2 system. Furthermore, VITEK 2 (antibiotic susceptibility testing) panel was used to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of Proteus isolates, and the results showed that all isolates were entirely resistant to tetracycline and tigecycline (100%), but sensitive to meropenem. …
