The aim of this study was the isolation and characterization of Klebsiella pneumonia from 160 urine samples of patients hospitalized in children hospital in AL-Ramadi Proveng during October 2006 to May 2008. Also determination of the susceptibility of K. pneumoniae against a number of antibiotics to explain resistance mechanism for these antibiotics by using interpretative reading to avoid using it in treatment. Forty two isolates were detected as K. pneumoniae with resistance to a number of antibiotics . These isolates were tested to determine their sensitivities to a wide number of antibiotics which included β-lactum group and aminoglicosides using disk diffusion method and the strain E. coli ATCC 25922, using as standard strain. The interpretative reading of the sensitivity data to β-lactamas inferred the following: Classical type of K. pneumoniae 7\42 (16,6%), penicillinase-high level producing 6\42(14.2), 29\42(68.9%)ESBLs enzyme producing isolates. Then 7\42(16.6) producing ESBLs- Ceftazidimase enzyme and 22\42 (52.3%) ) producing ESBLs- Broad enzyme. As for aminoglicosides the interpretative reading inferred the following : Classical type of K. pneumoniae 4\42 (9.5%) and 8\42 (19%) producing enzymes AAC(3´)-I,11\42(26%) producing enzymes AAC(3´)-I I,6\42(14%) APH(3) enzymes and 5\42 (11,9%) AAC(6´)-II enzyme further, the enzymes ANT(3) were 8\42 (19%). The results of the present study indicated that K. pneumoniae strains had unusual resistance protocols and this high percentage of strains that produce β-lactamas enzymes in K. pneumoniae referred to wide unusual uses of antibiotics and poor control on infection in hospital.
Streptococcus mutans is one of the major cariogenic microbial flora. In an attempt to determine the mutagenic effect of diode laser on the viability and antibiotic sensitivity of this bacteria; A total of 30 samples were collected from dental caries. The isolates were identified using by conventional identification methods and confirmed using VITEK2 system. Twenty-one isolates were recorded as Streptococcus spp and ten of them were identified as Streptococcus mutans. Antibiotic susceptibility profile for Streptococcus mutans isolates against ten antibiotics was tested. The results revealed that all the isolates were resistant to cefixime and cephaloth

Abstract Objectives: Malocclusion was and remains one of the most common problems which affects the psyche and social status of the individual, so the estimation of the malocclusion severity and needs a percentage of orthodontic treatment of Iraqi patients is the aim of this study. Method: A randomly selected 150 pairs of study models (48 male and 102 female) were involved in this study for patients attending an orthodontic clinic at College of Dentistry/ University of Baghdad seeking for treatment. The DAI scores were collected according to WHO guidelines directly from the study model with a digital caliper, score was calculated using the regression equation of 10 occlusal traits. The dental casts were classified into four groups to determ

The hazardous metabolic effects of treating schizophrenia patients with olanzapine comprise serotonin 2C receptor (5-HT2C) antagonists. Metabolic side effects of antipsychotic drugs, including lipid abnormalities, disturbed glucose metabolism, and weight gain, can have a major impact on treating psychiatric patients. The intent of this study was to investigate whether there is an associated link between the genetic polymorphism at -759C>T in the promoter region of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C receptor (HTR2C) gene and the metabolic syndrome driven by olanzapine in schizophrenia patients. A cross-sectional study that involved fifty hospitalized patients with schizophrenia. The patients were split into two groups (metabolic and non-metab
