CUT-OFF VALUES OF BLACKCURRANT, LONDON PLANE AND PINE BUDS ON VANCOMYCIN RESISTANT ENTEROCOCCI ISOLATED FROM MASTITIC MILK IN BAGHDAD
...Show More Authors

Generation of new clones of multidrug resistant infectious foci of environmental, zoonotic and reverse zoonotic Enterococcus faecalis & faecium strains from cases of mastitis in cows privileged in Baghdad ecosystem reveal unsafe tricks. Medically important plants Blackcurrant, London Plane and Pine Buds are widely used for resolving these public health threats and hazards as powerful antimicrobial preparations. Totally sixty pooled milk samples were collected from apparently healthy (30 units) and infected (30 units) Cows from different regions of Abu-Ghraib during March until July (2019). Integrated units were checked by California mastitis test and a designed scheme was dependent for recovery of pathogenic Enterococci. Gram staining and catalase was proceeds. VITEK 2 (bioMérieux) technology ribbon biochemical identification system was used to segregate faecalis strain from faecium one. Group D Enterococci were confirmed by Lancefield’s serological grouping. Biofilm-formation assay was followed as an important biomarker clue for antibiotics resistance barriers. Modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion assay using Muller-Hinton agar was dependent for checking susceptibility of recovered strains to selected antibiotics Penicillin, Methicillin, Vancomycin, Amikacin & Ciprofloxacin. Watery & alcoholic extracts of selected plants were prepared according to recommendations of Codex international standards of Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC) & modified disc inhibition assay with determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC titer) & minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC titer) were proceeds. Chi-square analysis via SPSS software was dependent. Qualified data descriptions regarding recovery of seventeen (28.33%) strains out of sixty samples in which, ten (16.66%) strains were recovered from mastitic milk units & seven (11.66%) strains were recovered from apparently abnormal milk units. Ten (16.66%) strains were confirmed as E. faecalis: Seven (11.66%) clones from mastitic milk units versus three (5%) clones from apparently abnormal milk units. Seven (11.66%) strains were confirmed as E. faecium: Five (8.33%) clones from mastitic milk units versus two (3.33%) clone from apparently abnormal milk units. All recovered strains were Gram-positive purple beaded cocci, Catalase negative, Lancefield group D & biofilm-producing. All strains were very resistant to all selected antibiotics. Diverse efficacy index was present among selected plants extracts in which, active ingredients index revealed powerful inhibitory level & titer for London Plane followed by Pine Buds then Blackcurrant against these powerful multidrug resistant recovered clones. In conclusion, frequency & distribution of pathogenic multidrug resistant foodborne Enterococci in our ecosystem represent privileged hazard chain of contamination that can be reduced or overcome by natural antimicrobial replacements like these extracts.

STUDY THE OPTIMUM CONDITIONS FOR THE REMOVAL OF HEAVY METAL ELEMENTS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS USING CONTAMINATED BACTERIA Bacillus subtilis LOCALLY ISOLATED: STUDY THE OPTIMUM CONDITIONS FOR THE REMOVAL OF HEAVY METAL ELEMENTS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS USING CONTAMINATED BACTERIA Bacillus subtilis LOCALLY ISOLATED
...Show More Authors

We studied the effect of certain environmental conditions for removing heavy metal elements from contaminated aqueous solutions (Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cr) using the bacterium Bacillus subtilis to appoint the optimal conditions for removal ,The best optimum temperature range for two isolate was 30-35○C while the hydrogen number for the maximum mineral removal range was 6-7. The best primary mineral removal was 100 mg/L, while the maximum removal for all minerals was obtained after 6 hrs of Cu element time and the maximum removal efficiency was obtained after 24 hrs of Cu element. The results have proved that the best aeration for maximum removal was obtained at rotation speed of 150 rpm/minute. Inoculums of 5ml/100ml which contained 1

Conversion Rate from Laparoscopic to open Cholecystectomy in AL-kindy Teaching Hospital, Baghdad
...Show More Authors

Background: laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is getting popularity for the treating of symptomatic gall bladder disease; conversion from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy (OC) is also common.

Objective : To find out the prevalence of causes, risk factors of conversion from LC to OC among  patient suffering from gall bladder disease, and  to explore the most common causes of conversion from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the department of general surgery at Alkindy teaching hospital from first of January 2016 to the end of December 2017 .Nine hundred twenty patient were included. Patient age, gender, his

Sludge worms species (Oligochaeta: Naididae: Tubificinae) From Different Aquatic Habitat in Baghdad / Iraq
...Show More Authors

The present investigation is concerned primarily with sorting and identification of subfamily Tubificinae from River Tigris and some water surface in Baghdad /Iraq . For this purpose six study sites were chosen, including a Al- Kadhemyia drainage canal, North Baghdad; three sites on the shore of River Tigris; in addition to site in Al-Jaish canal , East Baghdad, finally the sixth site was from pond in Al-Zawra'a park , within the center of Baghdad .These sites were characterized by sediment rang from clay, silty-clay to silty with a percentage of organic matter ranged between 0.7% - 9.9% . According to water temperature, salinity and pH values, they were nearly identical in all study sites, the water temperature was ranged through the study

Evaluation of Amygdalin (B17) and Cucurbita pepo (Pumpkin seed) Activity Against Blastocystis from Diarrheic Patients in Baghdad, Iraq: in Vitro Study
...Show More Authors

Blastocystis is a ubiquitous human and animal protozoa that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract. Metronidazole is considered the standard drug for the treatment of Blastocystis infection; however, there is growing evidence of treatment failure, hazardous side effects, and appearance of strains resistant to metronidazole. In the last era, many studies have been implicated in the quest for new treatments for Blastocystis infection, especially natural products. Attention has been focused on the effect of Amygdalin (B17) and pumpkin seed on eradicating parasitic infections. The current work was built up to explore the in vitro efficacy of two natural compounds, Amygdalin (B17) and pumpkin seeds against
