The study included the collection of samples of raw cow milk to isolate Leuconostoc bacteria, samples were sub cultured on De-Man Rogosa Sharpe-Vancomycin medium, the pure colonies were selected and subjected to the cultural and microscopically tests, according to that 25 cocci bacterial isolates were obtained, then isolates were subjected to biochemical tests. Result of tests showed that 12 isolates belong to the genus Leuconostoc out of 25 cocci bacterial isolates, Vitek2 system was used as a supplementary step. Results of final identification showed that 3 sub species were obtained included Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. cremoris 9 out of 12 isolates, while it was 2 isolates of Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. mesenteroides and one isolate Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. dextranicum. The study included the collection of 15 isolate of diarrhea causative bacteria which subjected to cultural and microscopically, biochemical tests and Vitek 2 system, about the results of identification, 9 isolates out of 15 isolates belonged to Escherichia coli,3 isolates of Shigellagroup,2 isolates of Salmonella ser. paratyphi A and one isolate of Vibrio cholerae, the selected isolates were tested to Antibiotic sensitivity test against 11 antibiotics, the results showed that all isolates were resistant to Ampicillin and sensitive to Imipeneme. Screening of L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris isolates was done to select the more efficient isolate producing bacteriocin by using well diffusion method, the result showed that L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc3) and L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc4) isolates gave the highest inhibition against E. coli, Shigella group, Salmonella ser. paratyphi A and Vibrio cholerae, the diameters were 13, 12, 12 and 12 mm respectively for the L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc3) isolate, while the L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc4) isolate diameters were 13, 12, 12 and 11mm respectively. The synergistic effect between bacteriocin of both isolates L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc3) and L. mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Lc4) with antibiotics was studied against multidrug resistant diarrhea causative bacteria. Synergistic effect between bacteriocin of both isolates with antibiotics was observed. The activity of antibiotics with bacteriocin was increased, like Cefixime, Tetracycline, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Ampicillin antibiotics against E. coli, and Cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Cefixime antibiotics against Shigella group, and Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole antibiotic against Salmonella ser. paratyphi A and Ampicillin, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, Cefixime antibiotics against Vibrio cholerae.

Other bacterial enteropathogens have been isolated from 387 patients with diarrhea, were 19 different strains. A. hydrophila occurred more commonly in children with acute diarrhea, the results showed that 18(78.26%) isolates of A. hydrophila found in children under 10 years old ,distributed to 10(43.47%) in male and 8(34.78%) in female ,and in adults with diarrhea 5 (21.73%). In the other hand, we noticed frequency of isolation was higher in male 14(60.86%) when compared with 9(39.14%) in female. Six strains of A. hydrophila have been observed to have bacteriocin activity against 12 of 23 different A. hydrophila ,as well as Staphy

Show MoreThis study aims to identify the teaching problems that teachers of students with intellectual disabilities face, in addition to exploring the solutions suggested by them in order to overcome such problems or challenges. The researchers used a qualitative approach in order to understand the teachers' perceptions about these problems in a more in-depth way. The interview tools (in-depth and semi-structured interviews) were used to collect data from (3) female teachers from special education programs in the Asir region. The results revealed a number of themes including problems related to students, teachers and the teaching methods they use, curricula, school environment, and school administration. Moreover, the results indicated that famil

Show MoreThe inhibition of mild steel corrosion in 1.0M HCl by 1-propanol and the synergistic effect of potassium iodide (KI) was investigated using weight loss and polarization techniques in the temperature range (30 ‒ 50) ̊ C. A matrix of Doelhert to three factors was used as the experimental design, adopting weight loss results as it permits the use of the response surface methodology which exploited in determination of the synergistic effect as inhibition on the mild steel. The results were confirmed using electrochemical polarization measurements. Experimental results showed that the inhibition efficiency (IE%) increases with increase in concentration of inhibitor and with increasing of temperature. The addition iodide ions t

The study was determined for students of the fourth literary preparatory Al-Hakim Preparatory (for males) and Rabat Preparatory (for females) of the Second Karkh Education Directorate, topics from the Arabic grammar subject (past tense, present tense, imperative, subject, and object) for the first semester of the academic year 2019-2020. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (0.05) between the average scores of the students who were tau

The prepared activated carbon was used to remove fluoroquinolones antibiotics from aqueous solution. The characterizations of the activated carbon is represented by surface area, pore volume, ash content, moisture content, bulk density, and iodine number. The adsorbed fluoroquinolones antibiotics are Ciprofloxcin (CIP), Norfloxcin (NOR) and Levofloxcin (LEVO). Different variables as pH, initial concentrations and contact time were studied to show the efficieny of prepared activated carbon.
