عنوان المقالة:DIAGNOSIS OF ENTEROBACTER SAKAZAKI FROM SAMPLES OF INFANT MILK, STOOL AND HABOUBI HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENT IN DHI QAR PROVINCE AND STUDY THE SENSITIVITY FOR SOME ANTIBIOTICS
This study was aimed for detection occurrence of Enterobacter
sakazakii in stool specimens, infant formula and hospitals
environments. A total of 310 samples (50 infant formula, 10 stool
samples and 20 hospital environment swabs), during the period from
November 2014 to April 2015 were collected. Growth on Violet red
bile agar and MacConkey agar was identified by cultural and
biochemical tests and confermated by API 20 E system which revealed
that: Only `12/80 (15%) gave positive growth for Enterobacter spp. as
following: 3/20 (15%) environmental swabs, 8/50 (16%) infant
formula and 1/10 (10%) stool samples. Diagnosis of the isolates
appeared that E. cloacae was (6 /12) while E. sakazakii (4 /12) and E.
aminogenus (2/12). Four E. sakazakii isolates were screened for their antibiotic resistance
against 20 antibiotics of different classes using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The
results showed that all the tested isolates were resistant to at least 6 antibiotics of which they
were tested.
