Background: pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is one of the most global
dangerous infectious diseases worldwide, particularly in developing
countries. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the most infectious
agent that caused PTB transferred by air droplets from one person to
other. In the present epidemiological study, we aimed to record the
total numbers and percentages of patients infected with PTB caused
by Mtb during 12 months in AL-Najaf Governorate, Iraq.
Methods: This study has been done in 2019 from January to the end
of December in the north and south region of AL-Najaf Governorate,
Iraq. Sputum of PTB-patients has been stained by Ziehl–Neelsen to
Mtb diagnosis according to World Health Organization (WHO)
recommendation.
Results: We recorded 174 PTB-patients in AL-Najaf Governorate 2019;
89 male and 85 female; 101 and 73 in the north and south sections
respectively. The age group 16-24 was the highest infected. Quarter
two recorded the highest numbers of PTB-patients; 33 (60%) in the
north section and 22 (40%) in the south section.
Conclusion: There was low PTB incidence in AL-Najaf Governorate
2019 but the Youngers were the most susceptible to infection.
Infection in the north section was higher than in the south section and
there were no high differences between genders. Seasons have no
high effect on the number of infections

مختصر البحثAntimicrobial resistance is becoming an arising global issue. Until recent years, more than 50% of
commercially available antibiotics were ß-lactam. Pathogenic bacteria which are resistant to antibiotics include
all ß-lactams except for cephamycin and carbapenems. This study aimed to evaluate some ß-lactams and
carbapenems antimicrobials resistance in Klebsiella oxytoca. In total, 177 urinary tract infection samples were
collected for the purposes of the study. Isolates were identified using morphological features and routine
biochemical testing. All isolates were tested for susceptibility to 11 antibiotics using the usual disc diffusion
method. The result showed that 155 (87.57%) and 20 (11.29%) out of 177 collected urine samples were gram-
negative bacterial isolates and gram-positive bacterial isolates, respectively. The findings also showed that there
were two samples (1.12 %) with no growth. The results proved no susceptibility to Ampicillin, Cloxacillin,
Ceftazidime, Penicillin, Piperacillin with a resistance rate of 100%.

مختصر البحثABSTRACT:
Objectives: Resistance of antimicrobials by different pathogens is a dangerous problem in developing countries. Therefore we design this study to identify the most prevalent pathogenic bacteria that cause different infections in Al-Kufa Central Hospital – Iraq and determine the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of these pathogens.
Methods: Five hundred and seventeen bacterial strains were isolated from different infections (urinary tract infections 171, burns infections 238, respiratory tract infection 55 and blood infection 53). Eleven antimicrobials disc were used to determine the antimicrobial sensitivity by disc diffusion method.
Results: Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most predominate bacteria (122 isolates) followed by K. Pneumoniae (96 isolates), E.coli (64 isolates), S. pyogenes (59 isolates), S. aureus (51 isolates), S. pneumoniae (48 isolates), Proteus. spp. (47 isolates) and Salmonella spp. (14 isolates). All bacterial strains were highly resistant to most antimicrobials with percentage between 90% to 100%.There were 459 bacterial strains (91.61%) were multidrug resistant. Conclusions: This study proved that the predominant bacteria of burns infections and urinary tract infections were P. aeruginosa followed by K. Pneumoniae. Gentamicin, Amikacin and Ciprofloxacin are a drug of choice for treatment of these infections.
