Abstract EN
This study aims to isolate the bacterial pathogens and mixed infections with yeasts which cause vaginitis in Iraqi women and it’s relationship with the age .The result revealed that the bacterial pathogens which isolated from genital tract identified as: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Gardnerella viginals ,Klebsiella oxytoca ,Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus mirabilis.
The results of bacterial susceptibility tests showed that all isolates were resistant to Cefalexin, Tetracycline, Streptomycin and Rifampicin, as well as, all isolates were sensitive to Chloramphenicol, but these were different in sensitivity for other antibiotics.
The results of mixed infection of bacteria with yeasts revealed that Candida albicans was co-existing with S.aureus in 14 vaginal swabs, E.coli in 6 vaginal swabs and with two swabs of each Proteus mirabilis and K.oxytoca, while no mixed infection was observed neither with P.
aeruginosa nor with G.
viginals and the results of the relationship of bacterial vaginitis with the age showed that incidence of infection was high among females age group( 40-67 years).
