Isolation and Identification of Acinetobacter baumanni from clinical samples and study sensitivity to antibiotics.

Abstract

In this study, two hundred clinical samples have been chosen to isolate Acinetobacter baumanni from patients whose suffering from different infections, which included swabs from sputum, urine, wounds and burns. VITEK 2 COMPACT system has been used to diagnose percentage of bacteria in the samples and the highest rate was wounds infection, urinary tract infection and burns infection and the percentage 20%, 10% and 6.6% respectively. Moreover, antibiotics sensitivity have been taken place and used diffusion method, most of isolates were sensitive to Amikacin, Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin, Cefixime, Cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone, Trimethoprim, Cefalexine, Amoxicillin, Rifampicin. The results showed resistance some A baumannii isolates of bacteria to antibiotics Amoxicillin, Cefixime, Trimethoprim, Rifampicin, cefalexine, Amikacin, Ciprofloxacin, Ceftriaxone, Cefotaxime, Gentamicin which included IAN1, IAN4, IAN5, IAN6, IAN 10 and 100% .
