Background
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of the most severe threats facing public and
health care.
Aim of study
Study of bacterial resistance to some types of antibiotics, which shows their impact on
society in general and on individual health in particular.
The result
This study included testing an important group of antibiotics on a number of patients
suffering from chronic infections. The study included various samples of blood, urine,
stool, and swabs from the pharynx and wounds for examination. Susceptibility to
antibiotics for the purpose of knowing and estimating the extent of resistance to
antibiotics within the governorates of Iraq, with the exception of the Kurdistan region,
where the study included 18,216 samples. the proportion of fight to the antibiotics used
in the training, which are (Nitrofurantoin (29%), Gramycin (41%), Doxycycline (40),
Tetracycline (53%), Augmentin (76.5), Methprim (57.02), Amoxicillin (73.96), Ampicillin
(81.77%)). The results of this study underscore several alarming patterns concerning
antibiotic resistance observed in clinical isolates.
Material and methods
Susceptibility to antibiotics for the purpose of knowing and estimating the extent of
resistance to antibiotics within the governorates of Iraq, with the exception of the
Kurdistan region performed using the disk diffusion method.
Conclusion
Ampicillin, Augmentin, amoxicillin, Methprim, tetracycline, gentamicin, doxycycline, and
nitrofurantoin showed differing levels of resistance, highlighting the widespread issue
of antimicrobial resistance. These resistance trends are consistent with prior studies
and emphasize the critical importance of implementing thorough antimicrobial
stewardship initiatives to address and curb the proliferation of resistance.
