Wasit city, Iraq provided a total of twenty-four different samples of urine for the researchers to examine. The samples were first cultured onto Ma-Cconkey agar and Blood agar, and placed into brain heart infusion broth. Microscopic inspection, cultural characteristics, biochemical assays, and the Api20 E system were all utilized to independently verify the isolates' identities. Only two out of twenty-four human samples (8.3%) included Providencia species, with P. rettgeri being the most prevalent of those species. Using the disc diffusion technique, tests of antimicrobial susceptibility were carried out against 10 different antibiotics. All of the Providencia isolates had evidence of multidrug resistance (MDR), and the level of absolute resistance to cefoxitin, methicillin, vancomycin, doxycycline, clarithromycin, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole was 100%. They exhibited a high degree of sensitivity to ofloxacin, chloramphenicol, cefixime, and teimethoprim, with a percentage of 100%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
