Abstract EN

Fifty samples from patients wih conjunctivitis were obtianed from conjunctiva of visitors to Ophthalomology Department In Al-Zahrawi Hospital, the laboratory tests results showed that 2 samples in percent of (4 %) were negative to bacterial growth and 48 samples in percent of (96 %) were positive to bacterial growth clinically diagnosed to 26acute and 22chronic conjunctivitis.

It was seem that Neisseria sp.

was the most frequent in the percentage of 26.4 % followed by Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenzae 19.1 % to both of them.

There was 41.66 % of cases had two pathogens.

The sensitivity test results showed that Neisseria sp.

isolated from acute infection was most sensitive to Ampicillin (90 %) and most resistant to Amoxycillin and Erythromycin (75 %), while in chronic infection was most sensitive to Ampicillin (75 %) and most resistant to Clindamycin (100 %).

H.

influenzae isolated from acute infections was most sensitive to Ampicillin (100 %) and most resistant to Erythromycin (100 %).

The ratio of sensitivity and resistance of other isolated bacteria was different in acute and chronic infection.
