| Abstract | ||
| Background: Previously, this rare gram-negative bacterium was considered a plant pathogen due to its ability to infect the roots of leguminous plants and the formation of Root nodes. However, now, it causes diseases in humans, especially in patients with weak immune systems. Objective: The main aim of this research paper is to record the isolation of this genus for the first time in the city of Mosul as an opportunistic pathogen, from patients with urinary tract infections, who have a urinary catheter. Methods: sixty-seven clinical samples were collected from Al-Slam and Ibn Sina General Teaching Hospitals and cultured on the center of the brain heart infusion agar, conventional biochemical tests were performed on them, and then the Vitek 2 system was used to confirm their diagnosis, and tests for sensitivity to antibiotics Results We obtained two bacterial isolates belonging to this genus and they have shown resistance to several antibiotics and are sensitive to antibiotics (F100, LEV 5 and NOR 30). Conclusion: These bacteria are opportunistic and can acquire virulent qualities and antibiotic resistance, so farmers should be sensitized because they are closer to dealing with the soil in terms of wearing gloves and when they feel unwell, not being in the field and visiting the hospitalز | ||
