Abstract :

Stool samples were gathered from patients with watery diarrhea matured (about 1 for >60 years) earlier organization to antibiotic operators who were alluded to Central Health Laboratory in Najaf. This study found that 27 isolate of Vibrio cholerae 52.3% male and 47.7% female. With respect to the serotyping of V. cholerae this research obtained whole isolates possess just Inaba serotype. The virulence factors were distinguished in all isolates was deliver β-hemolysis on blood agar. The highest one appeared at the (11-20 and 21-30) years age group with 29.6%, followed by others at age groups (>60) years and (41-50) years with 11.1%. The low isolation frequency was recorded at (51-60) years in a percent 3.7%. The consequences of this test demonstrated that V. cholerae has an extraordinary resistance to most commonly antibiotics utilized in hospitals, V. cholerae indicated diverse susceptibility towards antibiotics utilized in this study. The highest rate of resistance is seen with ampicillin 100%, nalidixic acid 89% and ciftazidime 85% and moderately resistance to pipemidic acid 70%, tobramycin 67%, aztreonam 63%, cefotaxine 48%, amikacin 41% and norflaxacin 41% whereas is relatively lower resistance toward azithromycin 37%, erythromycin 33%, ceftriaxone 33%, chloromphenicol 22%, tetracycline 11% and ciprofloxacin 7.5%. The consequences of this study showed that V. cholerae isolates were obtained to be a remarkable sensitive to Imipenem (100%) as well.
