Abstract AR
Ninety four fecal specimens were collected from children diarrhea less than five years old from Al-Emamain Al-Kadhemain Medical City Hospital in Baghdad province.
Samples collection was carried out from 25 May to 16 July 2014.
Our study showed 25.53 % and 17% of samples had positive tests for Escherichia coli and Rota virus respectively.
Low number of E.
coli isolates, 4/24 (16.6%) were produced β-lactamase and 10/24 (41.6%) produced biofilm.
However, half E.
coli isolates (50%) produced hemolysis.
The E.
coli isolates showed different degrees of sensitivity to different antibiotics.
All E.
coli isolates were 100% sensitive to Ciprofloxacin, Gentamycin, and Norfloxocin.
However, 16.6% of E.
coli isolates were sensitive for Carbenicillin and Amikacin.
But 33.3% of E.
coli isolates were sensitive to Amoxacillin- clavulanic and Aztreonam.
Our study showed a number of plasmid range between 750 to 10,000 bp in siz
