Abstract :

One of the most important causes of serious mortality and morbidity is the blood stream infection. Total blood sample size 135, male (64.92%) and (female 35.07%). Different genera as Enterobacter, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, acinetobacter were isolated. For coagulase-negative staphylococci, amikacin (AMI) (70%) was showed highest activity and penicillin (PEN) and ampicillin (AMP) least activity against coagulase-negative staphylococci and linezolid (LNZ) (68.75%) showed highest activity and tazobactam-piperacillin was showed least activity against Staphylococcus aureus (Coagulasepositive Staph). Ceftrixone (CRO) was showed highest activity and penicillin (PEN) and nalidexic-acid (NAL) were showed least activity against Salmonella genus. Amikacin (AMI) (85%) was showed highest activity and penicillin (PEN), ampicillin (AMP), ceftriaxone (CEFT), ceftriaxone (CRO), ceftizoxime (ZOX) were showed least activity against Pseudomonas genera. Imipenem (IMP) and meropenem (MEM) (69.23%) were showed highest activity and penicillin (PEN), ampicillin (AMP), ciprofloxacin (CIP), cephalexin (CL) were showed least activity against E. coli. while imipenem (IMP) (67%) was highest activity and ampicillin (AMP), penicillin (PEN), amoxicillin (AMO), erythromycin (ERY), clarithromycin (CLR), cloxacillin (CLO) were showed least activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae extended spectrum �²-lactamases.
