Main Article Content
Abstract
The current study aimed to find Antibiotic susptipility profile and virulence factors profile of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from otitis media, for this purpose 200 ear swabs collected from patients suffering from otitis media whom attending to the ENT consulting clinic at Tikrit Teaching Hospital and the private outpatient clinic in Tikrit city. Bacterial isolation and identification were done , virulence factors profile detected by classical and genetic methods, and Antibiotic susptipility were done.
The result shows that out of 200 ear sample collected from otitis media, pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in rate of 38.6% (68 out of 200) Protease, lecithinase, and denase were detected in percentages of 69.1%, 66.1%, and 54.4%, respectively. AprA, Ple and PlcH were detected in rate of 100%, 93.3% and 86.6%, respectively. Also the current study reveal that Highly resistant of pseudomonas aeruginosa to antibiotic
