“…In Iraq and many other countries, several studies showed increasing frequency of MDR Esch. coli in different infections like UTI (49,50,51,52,53), bacteremia (49) and children diarrhea (54) . These studies showed high resistance rate to a wide range of antibiotics including ampicillin, cephalosporin and nalidixic acid.…”

Infections caused by bacteria are common in infants and neonates. Some of these infections are severe and usually carry high risk of fatal complications such as septicemia and / meningitis if left untreated. Very often, the diagnosis of these infections is clinical as well as laboratory diagnosis to determine the type of bacteria in body fluids such as urine, stool, blood and CSF. The present study aims to isolate and identify the bacteria responsible for some types of severe infections in neonates such as urinary tract infections (UTI), gastrointestinal tract (GIT) infections and bacteremia in West bank of Mosul city and test their susceptibility to different antibiotics. Twenty-seven (27) samples from blood, 28 from urine and 6 from stool were collected from neonates admitted to "Mosul General Hospital" in West Bank of Mosul city in the period between 1/7/2018 to 1/9/2018. Our results indicated that Staphylococcus aureus was the most common bacterial isolate in blood (81%), whereas both Staphylococcus aureus and Esch. coli were common in urine (48% and 43% respectively) followed by Proteus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4.5 % each). Both Staphylococcus aureus and Esch. coli were highly sensitive to amoxiclav (83% for and 100% respectively), levofloxacin (88% for Staphylococcus aureus and 100 % for Esch.coli) and meropenem (100% for both Staphylococcus aureus and Esch .coli). However, both of them were highly resistant to ampicillins (100%) and 3rd generation cephalosporins. Although meropenem is effective, it's use should be selected and restricted to highly resistant cases to avoid the emergence of early antibiotic resistance.

Piperacillin is a potent antibiotic and tazobactam is an inhibitor of β-lactamase. Piperacillin-tazobactam combination has a broad spectrum of activity encompassing most gram-positive, gram-negative, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, including many producing β-lactamase organisms. The dose of piperacillin is 90 mg/kg every 6-8 hours in infants aged 1 month to 1 year. In children, the recommended doses of piperacillin and tazobactam are 50 mg/kg and 6.25 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg and 12.5 mg/kg, respectively, every 6 hours. Piperacillin and tazobactam are mainly excreted as unchanged drugs in the urine, and high biliary concentrations are achieved. The piperacillin elimination half-life is variable in neonates and ranges from 3.5 to 14 hours, whereas in infants aged between 1 and 6 months, the half-life is 47 min. The piperacillin-tazobactam combination is effective, safety, and well tolerated in infants and children. After a single intravenous infusion of 50 mg/kg piperacillin to infants and children aged 1 month to 12 years, the mean plasma concentrations of piperacillin rapidly decayed and were

The quality of food sold in the street is a major public health concern. This research was conducted to study the sanitary quality of grilled fish sold in the streets of three districts of Daloa. Seasoned and unseasoned grilled fish were collected in 3 districts of Daloa, namely Commerce, Soleil and Tazibouo. A total of 150 unseasoned and 150 seasoned grilled fish were collected and analyzed for the detection and enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus aureus and fungal flora. We also tested for the presence of heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and zinc (Zn). The antibiotic resistance of S. aureus was also checked. The results showed that Enterobacteriaceae represented the highest level of microbial load in the samples of seasoned grilled fish from the 3 districts. Total coliform levels ranged from (7.05 ± 2.1) x 103 colony-forming units (CFU)/g to (4.1 ± 1.9) x 105 CFU/g and from 2.8 ± 3.3 x102 to 3.4 ± 2.1x103 CFU/g for thermotolerant coliforms. The presence of heavy metals showed higher values in seasoned grilled fish than in unseasoned grilled fish. The highest values of heavy metals are Al (1.98±0.120 mg/kg), Pb (1.46±0.23 mg/kg), Cu (0.7±0.1 mg/kg), Hg (0.40±0.201 mg/kg) and Hg (0.9±0.201 mg/kg). The microbiological quality of both types of fish samples was unsatisfactory. The presence of S. aureus resistance was noticed with 80% resistance to vancomycin, lincomycin, gentamycin and erythromycin but all strains tested were sensitive to imipenem.
