Abstract EN
In this study bacteria isolated from mobile phones of male and female Doctors worked in Baghdad hospitals which include Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Ibn al-Nafis hospital, Al-Yarmouk Hospital, Al-Karama Hospital, Medical City Hospital, and Al-Nu'man Hospital.
Seventy samples collected from different specialty and sex.
The result of the present study shows the isolation percentage for Male was 54% and for Female was 46%.
The number and types of bacteria differ with the sex and specialty.
T-test show the existent of significance differences (p<0.01) between the number of bacterial colonies and specialty.
One hundred isolates were identified, 64 were normal flora of skin which was 22 isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis, formed 22% and 42 isolates of Bacillus spp.
formed 42% from all isolated.
The remaining isolated 36 were pathogenic bacteria, included seven genus Staphylococcus aureus 20 (20%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 6 (6%), Bacillus subtilis 2, Streptococcus spp.
2, Escherichia coli 2, Micrococcus lutes 2, and Klebsiella pneumonia 2 Formed (2%).
respectively.
The antimicrobial susceptibility test shows the most isolate were sensitive to (LEV 5, APM 10, T 30, SXT 25) and resistance to (AMC 30, CX 5, CL 30) with some exception.
The susceptibility test of Staphylococcus aureus to Oxacillin appeared the predominant of (OSSA) which form 75% whereas the percentage of (ORSA) was 25% from all Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus.
