- Abstract
In this study (33) infected portion was obtained from a thyroidectomy process were collected from women suffering with thyroiditis with the age range between (18-65) years. All of these samples were obtained from general educational hospital in Ramadi city. The collection period extended from September 2020 to January 2021. The results of this study revealed that 25 (75.75%) of samples was positive for bacterial culture, while 8 (24.25%) of samples have no growth. Different types of bacteria were isolated which caused thyroiditis. The bacterial strains isolated in our study, which proved to be Grampositive, were as follows: 6 (23.07%) isolates of Staphylococcus lentus were identified followed by 4 (15.38%) isolates of Staphylococcus hominis, while 1 (3.84%) isolates of Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Kocuria Kristinae were found. While, the isolated bacterial strains in our study that were negative for gram stain were as follows: 9 (34.61%) isolates of Burkholderia cepacia were identified followed by 1 (3.84%) isolates of E.coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Leclercia adecarboxylata were found. The predominant bacteria was Staphylococcus lentus for gram positive and for gram negative was Burkholderia cepacia. All isolates (100%) from thyroid gland were biofilm producers, among (26) isolates, detected 3 (11.53%) as strong, 19 (73.07%) as moderate and 4 (15.38%) as weak. The results refer revealed the presence of many bacterial isolates that cause thyroiditis of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative types.
