English Abstract

Five hundred samples of stool specimen were collected from patients with diarrhea (infants and children under ten years of age) admitted to the Pediatric and Maternity Hospital in Erbil City from March to September 2007.

The samples were cultured on different culture media.

The isolated bacteria were identify according to their colony morphology, biochemical reactions and by use of API 20E systems.

35(7%) E.

coli.

Biotype I, 8(1.6%) E.

coli Biotype II, 17(3.4%) E.

coli Biotype III, 22(4.4%) E.

coli Biotype IV, 8(1.6%) Shigella dysenteriae, 16(3.2%) Salmonella arizonae, 12 (2.4%) Salmonella typhi and 6 (1.2%) Vibrio cholera were isolated.

Sensitivity test showed high resistance to amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid, amoxicillin, ampicillin, cefixime, erythromycin, nitrofurantoin, rifampicin, streptomycin, tetracycline, trimethoprim - sulfamethoxazole and tobramycin.

Most of the isolated appeared sensitive to nalidixic acid, doxycyclin, gentamycin , cefotaxime , cephalexine , chloramphenicol and amikacin.

All isolates of bacteria were sensitive to ciprofloxacin.

The MIC of the methanol extracts of Prunus armeniaca was ranged between 1.25000- 10.0000 mg/ ml and the MBC was 2.5000 - 20.0000 mg/ ml .

While, the MIC of Prosopis farcta extract ranging 1.2500 - 20.0000 mg/ ml and the MBC was 2.5000 - 20.0000mg/ ml, the MIC of Juglans regia leave extract found to be 2.5000 - 20.0000 mg/ ml and the MBC was 5.0000 - 20.0000mg/ ml, and MIC of Juglans regia exocarpes extract was 1.2500 - 20.0000mg/ ml and the MBC was 2.5000 -20.0000 mg/ ml.
