Seventy five bacterial isolates, which were then, diagnosed using the biochemical and API 20 tests. These bacteria were diagnosed as Escherichia coli (25%) Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.6%), K.oxytoca (4%), Enterobacter aerogenes (9.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8%), Proteus mirabilis (5.3%), Serratia marcescens (4%), Acintobacter baumannii (2.6%), and Citrobacter freundii (I.3%). The positive isolates of the gram stain representedStaphylococcus aureus (12%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (6.6%), and Enterococcus fecalis (2.6%). The sensitivity of the isolates of 13 antibiotics was tested. The results showed a variance as far as theirresistance to these antibiotics. Imipenem is the most effective antibiotic on the studied bacteria isolates.
