A study for some Serratia sp. from peritoneal fluid with dialysis in children’s hospital In Karbalagovernment

Abstract

The study was aimed to isolate and diagnose of Serratia sp. from patients with Peritoneal dialysis who habitant in children's hospital in Karbala government , a total offorty samples have being collected from peritoneal fluid , Serratia sp. were isolated by using a number of culture media in addition to biochemical test, the results revealed that percentage of Serratia sp. Isolation was 85% as (50±0.5) , (25±0.5) and (10±0.5)% were for Serratiamarcescens ,Serratialiquefaciensand Serratiaficariarespectively . Disc Diffusion method was used for the susceptibility testing of all species of Serratia against seven antibiotics , the results revealed that 60% of samples was sensitivity against imipenem , while 10% were susceptible to Azithromycin and Gentamicin for each one ,Whilesusceptibility against other antibiotics Amikacin, Amoxicillin, Erythromycin andNalidixic acid was arrived mainly in the range of 5% respectively . and has been studying the percentage of isolate depending on the age groups , since it was observed that the largest percentage of isolation, amounting to (54.90±0.57)% within the lower age group than five years , so the objective of this study for diagnosis of Serratia sp. and determine the appropriate antibiotic
