| Abstract | ||
| From 145 samples 113 samples were diagnosed as Acinetobacter 55 isolates (83%) from burn, 32 (78%) from wounds, and 13 (92.8%), 7(46.6%), 3 (100%), 3 (50%) were from diabetic foot ulcers, tonsil, CSF and urine respectively. Biochemical tests were used for diagnosis including catalase test, oxidase test, IMVC, and TSI test) Also, identifying some isolates confirmed by using the device VITEK 2 compact, the prevalence of this bacteria was high in males at 67(59.3%) while in females at 46(40.7%). also, this bacteria was most common in patients of the age group of 50–75 years (36.1%, 64.3%,50%, 100%) in wounds, tonsils, urine, and C.S.F. swab. Data were analyzed using a chi-square test, all types of samples were non-significant (P> 0.05), (P= 1.333, 1.243, 5.571, 0.500) for burn swab, wound (bus) swab, tonsil, and urine swab respectively, so no statistically significant differences were found between the samples. The objective of this study is to evaluate the distribution of Acinetobacter isolates from various clinical samples and to correlate the distribution of Acinetobacter with sample type and patient demographic characteristics, including gender and age. | ||
