مختصر البحثMethicillin-resistant coagulase negative Staphylococcus warneri (MR-CoNS) is the major source of infective diseases because of its capacity to form biofilm inhabiting the hospital environments or community to regulate the sensitivity of S. warneri to lemon oil and also examination of the anti-biofilm activity. Five isolates were taken from urinary tract infection and skin burns, tested by the VITEK-2 compact system (AST and ID) to confirm S. warneri. The diagnosis result showed one isolate due to S. warneri. The susceptibility of S. warneri to the formation of the biofilm was investigated in the presence and absence of glucose, exhibiting greater ability to form the biofilm in its presence. Penicillin G and Mixofloxacin were examined with the concentrations of MIC, sub-MIC and sub-sub-MIC, used to inhibit the formation of biofilm. The synergism activity was tested between lemon oil, penicillin G and moxifloxacin. The result displayed that a synergistic actvitity between the two antibiotics and lemon oil was the most efficient to prevent biofilm formation.

مختصر البحثThis study includes 10 samples isolated from a different
source. This research paper was to study the antibacterial activity and
antibiofilm activity of an alcoholic extract of Lemon Myrtle
(Backhousia citriodora) leaves, against 10 clinical isolates of
Pseudomonas aerogenoza. Isolates were diagnosed by the VITEK-2
compact system and (PCR). The capacity of isolates to produce biofilm
was tested by using the Microtiter plate technique (96 wells). The
results showed that isolates were able to form a biofilm, also the
ability of Backhousia citriodora was been effective on bacteria and
biofilm formation.

Background: Helicobacter pylori, a member of Epsilonproteobacteria, is a Gram-negative microaerophilic bacterium that colonizes gastric mucosa of about 50% of the human population. Although most infections caused by H. pylori are asymptomatic, the microorganism is strongly associated with serious diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, duodenal ulcer, and gastric cancer, and it is classified as a group I carcinogen. The prevalence of H. pylori infections varies worldwide. prevalence among middle-aged adults is over 80 percent in many developing countries, as compared with 20 to 50 percent in industrialized countries. The infection is acquired by oral ingestion of the bacterium and is mainly transmitted within families in early childhood, Humans can also become infected with Helicobacter heilmannii, a spiral bacterium found in dogs, cats, pigs, and nonhuman primate

مختصر البحثAbstract: Intestinal parasites are important health problem for diabetics. Therefore, there is
an urgent need to study the prevalence of intestinal parasites in individuals suffering from
this disease. The current study was conducted during February 2020 to April 2021 to study
the prevalence of intestinal parasites in diabetic patients in the province of Najaf, Iraq. A
total of 372 samples were examined, which were 137 samples were positive for intestinal
parasites in diabetic patients. The most common intestinal parasite in diabetic patients was
Entameaba hitolitica with proportion of 34.3%, and the age group most affected by intestinal
parasites in diabetes was 6-40 years. The results showed a significant higher infection in
females (57.6%). The results also showed that the prevalence of intestinal parasites among
diabetics is high in people who lived in rural areas (70%) (P<0.05). The current study
included the correlation of age, sex, and residence with the prevalence of parasites in patients
with diabetes, due to the scarcity of information on the prevalence and type of infection with
pathogenic intestinal parasites in diabetics

مختصر البحثThis study including collected 172 blood sample from AL-Kafeel University college, these samples including
102 sample to male and 70 sample for female in which students samples were 53 for smoker and 119 nonsmoker , to evaluate some of parameters such as ABO , RH , blood pressure and clotting time .
The results showed blood group A+ was more frequent which represent 33.7 % followed by O+ blood group
which represent 25.6% while B- was the last ,in other results displayed AB- and RH + was more frequent than
RH -
. Systolic and diastolic pressure examined was demonstrated there were mild hypertension in blood
pressure between samples of studied, while result gloating time was exhibited range 30 sec to 3 minute .

مختصر البحثAbstract Background and Objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders of
carbohydrate metabolism in which glucose is underutilized, producing hyperglycemia. Furthermore, it
is proposed that the underutilization of glucose is associated with changes in the lipid profile. Changes
in lipid profiles are also well related to the severity of DM. This study involved 50 were patients
admitted with a diagnosis of DM; blood samples were drawn under aseptic precautions from cases of
DM and healthy controls. Necessary investigations were carried out and values were tabulated for cases
and controls separately for statistical evaluation. Our Results show that the DM patients compared to
controls significant increase in the following parameters were observed. Cholesterol ratios increased.
Furthermore, the levels of triacylglycerol increased. We conclude that there is a statistically significant
large effect in cholesterol and TG a level of cases compared with controls, cholesterol level is increased
and TG levels were well associated with blood sugar also increased .
