A Bacteriological study of patients with bacteremia in Erbil city

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, we investigate bacteria that cause sepsis and determine infection rates by gender. Aerobic bacteria were isolated and identified by a series of biochemical tests, and the results were confirmed using the Vitek2 system, which detected resistance to 13 antibiotic discs. The most common isolated bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (23.42%), followed by Escherichia coli (18.35%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (10.76%), Micrococcus luteus (7.59%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (6.96%). The infection rate among patients with bacteremia was higher in females (57.59%) than in males (42%). 41% respectively.
