Studying the relationship of Nosocomial infection to the age, gender and educational level of the patient

Abstract

A total of 140 samples were collected from patients staying at Tikrit Teaching Hospital for three days or more in order to identify the most common bacterial isolates within the infections acquired from Tikrit Teaching Hospital and its relation to the age, gender and educational level of the patient. The samples included 75 urine samples, 28 stool samples, 28 wound swabs, and 9 sputum samples. The percentage of nosocomial infections was (45.7%), where the highest percentage were among UTIs (50.7%) from the total of (75) samples, followed by wound infections (42.9%) from the total of (28) samples, gastrointestinal infections (39.3%) from the total of (28) samples, and pneumonic infections (33.3%) from the total of (9) samples. It was noticed that hospital infections were more common in females, age group (51-89) years followed by the age group (5 years and less), and the uneducated (illiterate) where the number of hospital infected patients was 47 uneducated (illiterate) patients with 71.2%, while the number of educated patients was 19 patients with 28.8%. Various bacterial species were isolated in this study, including Citrobacter.koseri, E.coli, Staphylococcus schleiferi, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Klebsiella ozaenae, Klebsiella ornithindytica, Enterobacter aerogenes, Providencia stuartii, Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Prov. rettgeri, Staph. flexneri, Prov.alcalifaciens and K.pneumoniae.

Secondary metabolite‐entrapped, anti‐GPA33 targeted poly‐dopamine nanoparticles and their effectiveness in cancer treatment

“…In Figure 2A, in the spectrum of Sap, the absorption band at 2926 cm −1 , 1707 cm −1 and 1598 cm −1 were due to the stretching band of CH, C═O, C═C groups and sugar component of Sap having CO stretching, respectively. In addition, the peaks at 1019 cm −1 and 1077 cm −1 were ascribed to the symmetric stretching of lipids COOC (ester) 38,39 …”

“…In addition, the peaks at 1019 cm À1 and 1077 cm À1 were ascribed to the symmetric stretching of lipids CO O C (ester). 38,39 In the spectrum of p-Dop NP, the broad absorption band at 3221 cm À1 were corresponded to N H and O H stretching while the peak at 2955 cm À1 was assigned to C H stretching. In addition, the characteristic peaks at 1595 and 1505 cm À1 were due to the aromatic C═C and C N C stretching were attributed to the indole group of p-Dop NP that arises after self-polymerization of Dop.…”

A Review on Benzimidazole Heterocyclic Compounds: Synthesis and Their Medicinal Activity Applications

“…Many heterocyclic compounds are also used as drugs, including hypnotics, anticonvulsants, antitumors, antihistamines, antiseptics and antivirals. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Every year, many new drugs featuring heterocyclic compounds are used in pharmacology to treat many human diseases. These new drugs, which consist of heterocyclic compounds, can be used to treat various diseases as many are active as antibacterial, 8–10 antifungal, 11 antiviral, 12 anti-inflammatory, 13 and antitumor 14 15 agents as well as being effective in other disease states.…”
