A Study on Isolation of Different types of Bacteria from Furunculosis Infection in Adults

Abstract

Collected (116) samples from skin  infected with furunculosis from    patients  ,their ages were between (20-70) years, suffering from furunculosis f   .The results found that the rate of ( 76) samples (64.5%) gave positive growth of bacteria ,while( 40) samples (34.5%) a negative samples . Identification of bacterial isolates was determined by standard microbiologic  techniques found that Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant  (73.68%) ,followed by Coagulase negative Staphylococci (CONS) (7.1%),Streptococcus.pyogenes (6.58%) ,Klebsiella pneumonia (3.94%) , Pseudomonasaeruginosa(3.94%) Proteus spp.(2.63%), ,Escherichia.coli (1.31%). The  results also has been shown that infections in males (56.6%) were higher than in females(43.4 %) . According to age groups ,the results showed that furunculosis were common in second age group ( 30-40) years the a proportion (27.6%), followed by first&third age group(22.4%),followed by fifth age groups (14.5%) and fifth age group (13.1%).
