Abstract

The current study involved the collection of (75) swabs were collected from different animal wounds distributed Geographically in all parts of Babylon province, for the period from October 2021 to the end of February 2022. The results showed only 42 samples were identical to positively infected in microscopic examination, including 31 (%) samples contained Pseudomonas spp, while 44 samples were not infected with any type of bacterial infection. Bacteria were diagnosed based on a culturing on different agars according to the type of bacteria (Chrom agar), as well as by using VITEK 2 system. Pseudomonas spp. was the most dominant bacteria that isolated in the current study. So the antibiotic susceptibility of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa against 16 antibiotics belonging to 9 classes of antimicrobial agents was tested. The results showed that the resistance percentage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was (100%) towards Ampicillin, Piperacillin, Amoxicillin, Cefepime, Cefotaxime, Ceftazidime, Aztreonam, trimethoprim and Chloramphenicol. followed by (80%) resistance to Amoxicillin clavulanate and Doxycycline. Also Nitrofurantoin showed (60%) resistance, Levofloxacin and Azithromycin showed (40%) resistance against isolated Pseudomonas . While Meropenem and amikacin have (20%) resistance against isolated Pseudomonas.
