- Abstract
In this study wound swabs were collected from (60) patients suffering with infections after various operations with the age range between (3-60) years old from both sexes. All of these samples were obtained from Hospitals in Ramadi city. The period of collection were extended from August to November 2020. The results of this study revealed that 50 (83%) of samples was positive for bacterial culture, while 10 (16%) of samples have no growth. Different types of bacteria were isolated, which caused wounds infection after surgery. The predominant bacteria was Staphylococcus aureus for gram positive, and for gram negative was E. coli. Gram-negative bacteria possessed all the virulence factors under study Which includes (CFA/I, Colanic acid production, CNF-1, SFA).
