Abstract: تم التحري عن بكتريا السالمونيلا في 520 عينة من الاغذية المحلية في مدينة تكريت, وجدت هذه البكتريا في 26 عينة (5%), كانت اعلى نسبة لتواجدها في عينات اللحوم المثرومة (2.5%) والتي تمثل 16.25% من العينات الكلية للحوم المثرومة المدروسة.عزلت السالمونيلا من عي | The presence of Salmonella spp. was investigated in 520 local food samples in Tikrit city, Salmonella was found in 26 samples (5%), with the highest presence in minced meat (2.5%) which was represented 16.25% of all minced meat samples. Salmonella was isolated from chicken's meat at a percentage of 3.75%, and same percentages for meat slices samples, egg cortex and chicken's blood represented 5% for each one, and isolated too from vegetables and cheese at a percentage of 2.5% for each one. No Salmonella has been detected from sweet, yoghurt and egg content. Six Salmonella species were isolated, S. typhimurium was to be the most frequent and represented 42.30% of positive samples, then S. enteritidis and S. anatum in 34.61% and 11.53% respectively, but S. agona, S. typhi and S. arizona existed in a percentage about 3.84% for each one. Also, all the isolated species showed their own serological formula. The selective medium Tetrathionate broth (TTB) was found to be superior for isolation of Salmonella than Selenite cystine broth (SCB), the former positivity was 96.2% and 88.5% respectively. For test of better selective medium for isolation, TTB was found to be more suitable for isolation of S. anatum, while SCB was better for isolation of S. arizona.All the six isolated Salmonella species showed high sensitivity to Ciprofloxacin (5?g) and moderately sensitive to Chloramphenicol (30?g), while they showed high resistance to three antibiotics Amoxicillin (30?g), Nalidixic acid (30?g) and Pipracillin (100?g). They showed resistance with different percentages to the other tested antibiotics : Ampicillin (10?g), Gentamicin (10?g), Streptomycin (10?g), Tetracycline (30?g) and Trimethoprim (25?g).

The patients groups were divided according to the clinical diagnosis to 50 patients infected with ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) and 54 patents with uveitis, in addition to these groups acontrol group was also included 96 healthy apparent persons without any infection in their eyes.Some epidemiological characters were studied like age, that showed a little effect on two groups OT (Mean of age 38.07 ± 15.14) and uveitis (Mean of age 35.1 ± 17.6). The two groups were found in range 20 - 40 year while the control group include individuals with different age due to the randomly collection. The occupation factor play arole in the prevalence of infection with highly significant differences (P<0.05) in (house wife, workers) with a percentages 35(70%) 35(64.8%) in OT and uveitis groups respectively but the control group expend to include house wife, workers and officers with a total rate 92.7%.The education level also showed significant differences (P<0.01) among the studied groups, the most of ocular toxoplasmosis and uveitis samples were found in highly frequency at the primary, intermediate and secondary educational level with total rate 74% and 77.81% respectively while the control group was found at the secondary and under graduate educational level in 77.1%. The residency character was also examined and no revealed significant difference (P<0.05).The infection path was also set by the presence of animals especially cats which ware existed leading to statistical differences, p? 0.01 for OT group with rate 18%. The visual activity character showed no significant difference (P?0.05) between the patients of OT and uveitis who affected their visual acuity in right eye while the doubling response was recorded for uveitis patients with rate 55.6% in comparable with OT patients with rate 38% for the left eye. The intra ocular pressure was normal in both groups and for both eyes without significant difference.Latex and ELISA IgG. IgM serological tests were used in this study. The results were showed that latex test is easier and it is appear that OT patients were diagnosis with 100%, while the uveitis patients didn't show any positive result. Control group showed that 21 individuals were infected with rate of 21.9%.ELISA - IgG toxo. antibodies confirmed that the infection rate of OT patients was 39 (78%) versus 11(22%) with negative result, while the study also confirm that uveitis patient that have OT disease was 12 patient from 54 case, 42 case didn't diagnosis for OT. The control group was re - evaluated showed 28 case with toxoplasmosis infection from 96 case which from the subclinical group. The antibodies levels were measure by international unit/ ml for all groups, the IgG level was 3.186 ± 1.703 Iu/ml in positive control group followed by OT patients with 2.927 ± 2.417 and uveitis group 0.637 ± 0.803, finally the negative control group 0.276 ± 0.163. IgM levels were low and its presence didn't have any positive case. This study also showed that there was a relation between the IgG level and the pathological effect on eyes which resulted from infection for both groups OT and uveitis, it was high rate 73.5% with 50 patient, for posterior uveitis causing significant differences (P<0.05) followed by anterior uveitis with rate 13.2%.As for the results of cytokines there was a high level of IFN - ? in positive control group 793.7 ± 3461.6 pg/ml followed by OT group 550.6 ± 210.6 pg/ml, the uveitis group that in infected with ocular toxoplasmosis and negative control recorded 524.1 ± 173.6 and 506.6 ± 104.6 pg/ml levels respectively, this rise in the level of IFN - ? cause a significant differences at (P<0.05) for OT, uveitis (non infected) and positive control groups.

This study aimed to isolation and identification the species of Pseudomonas and metabolic efficiency test in the analysis of petroleum hydrocarbon compounds and measure the effectiveness of antagonism in resistant pathogenic fungi to tomato plant. Thirty four isolates were identified, the Pseudomonas spp. was the highest frequency with 22 isolates. These isolates distributed to 16 isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa and 6 isolates of pseudomonas fluorescens. Also this study included isolation of two pathogenic fungi which were Alternaria alternate and Fusarium solani in tomato plant. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences at (p<0.05) between the bacterial isolates in their analysis of hydrocarbon compounds, when the optical density measurement as an indicator of the effectiveness of growth on hydrocarbon sources. All isolates showed different optical densities were highest isolation of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from urinary tract infections as optical density amounting to 0.23nm. Also showed an increase in electrical conductivity values for all isolates within the incubation period, the highest value to the hospital (1) isolate with 12.8 mc/cm in the third week of the incubation, But decreased in the sixth week to 8.7 mc/cm and all isolates showed a good effectiveness of electrical conductivity in the third week and noted significant differences (p<0.05) in electrical conductivity values for isolates compared with control of 7.2 mc/cm. The results of the DNA electrophoresis of the all isolates contain the two genes (C23O and rhIB) which they code for the production of hydrocarbon - degrading enzymes. In Bio - antagonism experiments noted that all isolates were inhibitory to the growth of two pathogenic fungi and stimulating the growth of tomato plants in glass and field experiments through increase germination, vegetative ratio and root length and increased weights with significant difference at (p<0.05)with seed treatment with fungus only. The best isolates increased in germination were pseudomonas aeruginosa hospital isolate and pseudomonas fluorescens generating isolate which had stimulated germination rate to 76% with significant difference when compared with the control of Alternaria alternata and Fusarium solani which germination rate was 36 and 40 respectively. Pseudomonas aeruginosa which isolated from soil was more efficient in increasing the length of the stem, the stem height was 7.53 cm compared with the control treatment with F. solani, the stem height was 5.7 cm. Pseudomonas aeruginosa hospital which led to an increase in the length of the total root to 3.66 cm compared with the control treatment with F.solani at 1.53 cm. The increase in fresh and dry weights of Total vegetative reached 0.64 gm and 0.065 gm respectively when the treatment of seed contaminated with F.solani fungus and pseudomonas aeruginosa hospital isolate compared to the control which the weights were 0.11 g and 0.011 gm respectively. The highest increase in fresh and dry weights of total root of 0.057 gm and 0.0072 gm respectively when treated seeds contaminated with the F. solani with P. fluorescens hydrocarbon contaminated soil isolate compared with control that the fresh and dry weights was 0.032 g and 0.0017 g respectively. The highest value of stem length registered when treating seed with A. alternata which was 7.5 cm when treating seed contaminated with A. alternata by P. fluorescens isolated from soil contaminated with hydrocarbon compounds. The lowest value of stem length was 7.3 cm for the treatment of seeds contaminated with the A. alternata by P. aerugionsa isolated from the drainage water compared with control treatment (seeds contaminated with A. alternata) which stem length was 6.33cm. As for the fresh and dry weight for total vegetation was the highest value of 0.8 gm and 0.793 gm respectively when the treatment of seeds contaminated with the A. alternata P. aerugionsa isolated from urinary tract infections and the lowest value of fresh weight was 0.61gm for total vegetation when treated seeds contaminated with the A. alternata by P. aerugionsa isolated from soil non contaminated with hydrocarbon compounds and 0.069 gm when treated seeds contaminated with the A. alternata by P. aerugionsa which Isolated from drainage water compared with control treatment which were 0.15 gm and 0.0014 gm of fresh and dry weight for total vegetation, respectively. As for fresh and dry weight of total root were the highest value 0.071 gm and 0.008 gm respectively, when the treatment of seeds contaminated with the A. alternata by P. fluorescens isolated from soil contaminated with hydrocarbon compounds. while the lowest value were 0.058 gm and 0.0065 gm when treated seeds contaminated with the A. alternata by P. aerugionsa isolated from soil non contaminated with hydrocarbon compounds compared to control treatment (seeds contaminated with the A. alternata only)which the fresh and dry weight values for total root were 0.046 gm and 0.0018 gm respectively. When antagonism study in the glass field, the highest percentage of inhibition of the growth of the F. solani on PDA and cetramide agar were 42% and 61% respectively, when treated with P. fluorescens generator isolate. While the bacterial antagonism with A. alternata on PDA media, the highest percentage of inhibition 51% when treated with the transaction P. fluorescens generator isolate on PDA media. Generally, the treatment of pathogenic fungi with biological control bacteria had reduced the percentage of infection and increase the percentage of germination.

Abstract: نبات الصبار Aloe vera L. من النباتات المهمة والتي تستعمل حاليا بشكل واسع في مجال صناعة الادوية ويضاف هلام الصبار الى اغلب مستحضرات التجميل مع بعض المواد الغذائية في جميع انحاء العالم, لذا تم دراسة التاثيرات السمية الخلوية والوراثية لتراكيز مختلفة من المس | Aloe vera L. is one of the important plants in the world.It is currently and widely used in pharmaceutical industry, and its gel in some time added to some foods all over the world. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the cytotoxic and genetic effects of crude, alcohol and aqueous extracts of Aloe vera gel toward the onion(Allium cepa L.) roots (as a biological system) exposure at different periods. Onions roots were treated with different concentrations of the extracts : 2% , 5%, 10%, 20% and 40% (v/v)of the crud extract , 5%, 10%, 20% 30% and 50% (v/w) of alcohol extract and the concentration 25%, 50%, 100%, 150% and 200%(v/w) of aqueous extract of Aloe vera gel exposed for different period (24, 48 and 72) hour. The investigation were focused on the effect of these extracts on onions roots length rate and some cellular properties (mitotic index, phase index, the percentage and type of chromosome aberrations, as well as a genetic study using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) of onions roots treated with different concentration of this extracts. Results showed that all Aloe vera gel extracts had inhibit activity toward onion roots length rate. The inhibition associated positively with the increasing concentration. The effective concentration (EC50%) were 10% of the crude extract, 20% of the alcoholic extract and 100% of aqueous extract, indicating the effectiveness of the crude extract followed by alcoholic extract and then the aqueous extract. Cytological study showed that all Aloe vera gel extract revealed a significant decrease in mitotic index (MI%) of the onion roots cells compared with the control group, and the effect was positively associated with the increasing concentrations of the extract. However, the effect was independent on the exposure period. The concentrations 10%, 20% and 150% of the crude, alcohol and aqueous extract respectively indicated a reduction of the mitotic index to almost 50% of the control treatment. Therefore, this concentrations considered as sub - lethal concentrations for this extracts respectively while the higher concentrations than 30%, 50% and 200% of the crude, alcohol and aqueous extract which reduced the mitotic index to almost 22% of the control treatment were considered as lethal concentrations. The results also showed a significant decreases in prophase and an increase in metaphase in onion roots cells treated with extracts comparison with control treatment. Many of chromosomal abnormalities were appeared due to the treatments of the onion roots with different concentration of the extracts, the percent abnormalities was increased with the increasing concentration of the extract and exposure period. The most frequent of chromosome abnormalities were chromosomal stickiness, disturbed chromosome, chromosomal bridges, C - mitosis, vagrant chromosomes in addition to the other chromosomal abnormalities star telophase. The toxicity effect of Aloe vera gel were studded on molecular level by using random amplification polymorphism of DNA(RAPD). Ten random primers were used, seven of them gave polymorphic bands in all the studied samples and their molecular weights were ranging from 100 to 1600 base pair. The results of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) showed significant difference in the number of DNA band and their molecular weight of the onion roots treated with Aloe vera extracts compare to control treatment. The high concentrations(higher than EC50%) of extracts were showed to be more effective on the DNA through the appearance or disappearance of larger number of DNA band in comparison with control. The genetic template stability (% GTS) was significantly decreased in DNA of onions root treated with high concentrations (higher than EC50%) of Aloe vera extracts, therefore the high concentrations of Aloe Vera extracts were considered to be genetically toxic. The genetic dendrogram was obtained using Jaccard factor of genetic divergence and the result showed segregation of the samples treated with heights concentrations (%40 200% and 50%) of crude, alcohol and aqueous extract from other samples and control treatment. Therefore, the RAPD method can be considered as an efficient method in detecting for assessment of genotoxicity of crude, alcohol and aqueous extract of Aloe vera gel.

Water chemical analysis showed that irrigation with magnetized treated water had an effect on physical properties, nevertheless, was more or less affected ions components. 2. The use of magnetized treated water in irrigation resulted in an increase in germination percentage of cauliflower seeds cv. Solid snow.The highest germination percentage was obtained from magnetic intensity of 1500 Gauss in both experiments, laboratory and field that reached 71.14 and 65, 62%, respectively on the base of Arc Sin. 3. The use of magnetized treated water in plant irrigation at all the used intensities resulted in an early emerged curd cauliflower by 15 days compared with control treatment plants. 4. 750 gauss magnetized treated water achieved at age of 138 days from transplanting, the highest plant leaf area mean is (4836.2 cm2) with percentage increase of 51.7% compared to control treatment plant leaf area (3188.3 cm2).That effect was reflected on curd weight. 5. 1500 and 2500 Gauss magnetized treated water treatments at earlier ages increased the values of vegetative growth parameters which reflected its effect on flowering growth parameters by shorter time of curd irritation, compared with the effect of 500 - 750 Gauss at earlier ages , which are in spite of its late effects produced at 150 days old from transplanting particularly 750 Gauss the highest mean of curd fresh weight. 6. 750 Gauss magnetized treated water achieved the highest yield reached 22.2 ton/h. which differed from that productivity gained from control treatment plant(9 - 29 ton/h.) with percentage increase of 138.8%. 7. Organic plant manure addition at both quantities(2.5 and 5.0kg/furrow) resulted in an increase in both vegetative and flowering growth parameters compared with untreated plants. 5 kg/furrow treatment produced the highest means compared to control treatment particularly at the age of 138 days in all vegetative growth parameters. 8. The addition of 5 kg/furrow at age of 150 days produced the largest curd fresh weight 918.4 g. and diameter of 17.2 cm which statistically differed to compared plant treatment that produced 506.0 g. and 13.3 cm. for curd fresh weight and diameter at the same age respectively. 9. 5 kg/furrow organic manure addition resulted in a highest productivity of 21.6 ton/h. compared to that of control treatment of 11.9 ton/h. with an increase of 81.5%. 10. Interaction between irrigation water magnetically treated with 750 Gauss and addition of (organic manure with 5 kg/furrow) at the age of150 days resulted in the highest curd fresh weight of 1292.9 g. with curd diameter of 20.3 cm. compared to that plant of control treatment produced curd fresh weight of 292.5 g. and 11.0 cm. diameter. This interaction also produced 30.3 ton/h. for (750 Gauss×5 kg/furrow) compared with the productivity of control treatment plants that gave 6.86 ton/h. with percentage increase of 341.6%

Abstract: عزلت عشر عزلات من بكتريا Ensifer meliloti من العقد الجذرية لنبات الجت Medicago sativa L. بعد ان جمعت من مناطق مختلفة من محافظة بابل خلال المدة من شهر تشرين الثاني/2012 لغاية شهر شباط/2013. شخصت العزلات جزيئيا بتقنية تفاعل البلمرة السلسلي فضلا عن طرق ال | Ten isolates of Ensifer meliloti were isolated from root nodules of Medicago sativa L. collected from different areas of Babylon province during a period from November - 2012 to February - 2013. The isolates were molecular identified using polymerase chain reaction technique, in addition to traditional methods (morphological and biochemical). All isolates were harboured nodbox and mucR genes and produced cyclic ? - (1, 2) glucans, cellulose fibers and lipopolysaccharide.The ability of isolates to grow at different degrees of pH, temperatures and different concentrations of sodium chloride were tested. It was found that the optimum pH for growing of Em1, Em3, Em4, Em6 and Em8 isolates was pH7, while for the isolates Em2, Em5, Em7, Em9 and Em10 was pH8. The optimum temperature for growing of Em1, Em3, Em5, Em7, Em8 and Em9 isolates was 30?C, while the optimal growth of Em2, Em 4 and Em6 isolates was 35?C, Em10 isolate showed significantly extremism to grow at temperture reached to 45?C. The optimal percentages of NaCl for growing of Em1, Em3, Em4, Em5, Em6, Em8 and Em9 isolates were 2%, for Em7 isolate was 3% and for Em2 and Em10 isolates were 4%. The effect of different degrees of pH on symbiotic properties was studied. Em1 and Em8 isolates that grew at pH6.5 ; all isolates that grew at pH 7, pH 7.5 and pH 8 were able to infect the root hairs of alfalfa plants. The isolates that grew at pH6.5 (except Em1 and Em8 isolates) and all isolates that grew at pH8.5 were failed to infect the root hairs and did not formed nodules and resembled to the control plants (without inoculum).Different concentrations of NaCl on symbiosis was studied, it was found that all isolates that grew at 2% and Em2 and Em10 isolates that grew at 3% formed nodule, while Em1, Em3, Em4, Em5, Em6, Em7, Em8 and Em9 isolates that grew at 3% and all isolates that grew at 4%, 5% and 6% did not elicited nodules on the roots of alfalfa plant. Light microscopic observations of root hairs inoculated with Ensifer meliloti isolates showed the root hair deformations like curling, waviness, swelling and formation of shepherd`s crook and infection thread. These consequent changes lead to emerge the mature nodules having five distinct zones viz., distal meristematic, infection, inter, nitrogen - fixing and proximal senescence zones.The gel electrophoresis results of plasmid DNA of isolates showed that these isolates harboured two megaplasmids. When the isolates exposed to extreme factors like pH, temperture and NaCl, it was found that the isolates lost these plasmids and its ability to elicite the nodules and failed to fix the nitrogen. This study showed that the nitrogen fixing bacteria had essential role to support the plant growth and increase their productivity, and recommended to use the isolate Em10 as example for biofertilizers and the best alternative to the chemical fertilizers

Abstract: تم تصميم هذه الدراسة للتحقق من دور جينات الـ Glutathione - S - Transferase (Mu - 1) gene و(Theta) - 1 Glutathione - S - Transferase ومدى مساهمتها بخطر الاصابة بمرض الربو القصبي في محافظة ذي قار. حيث شملت (105) شخص مصاب بالربو باعمار من (20 - 69) سنة كان | This study has been designed to investigate the roles of the gens GSTMI and GSTTI the extent to which they contribute in asthma at Thi - Qar governorate. The study has been conducted on (105) patients with asthma whose ages from (20) to (69) years. (20) of them are males and (85) are females, and (110) are healthy with no infection of asthma or any sickness of respiratory system as a control group of the same ages, (60) of these are males and (50) are females. Blood samples have been collected from both groups in ampoules with EDTA and stored under temperature ( - 20) until they are used in getting the DNA from the groups. The genes GSTTI, GSTMI, and Albumin have been enlarged as internal control employing Polymerase chain Reaction (PCR). Some dangerous aspects of this disease have been investigated, the results showed that the disease in the urban areas (85. 71 %) higher than it rural areas, and Asthma among females is (80. 95%) higher than males. The results also indicated that asthma in ages (50 - 59) is more than other categories; it is (34.28%). The majority of patients are smokers with (63.80%). The study revealed that (73.33 %) of the patients have a family history with the disease while (26.66 %) have not. Statistical analysis showed that the loss of the gene GSTM1 is about three times in the patients more than the case in the control group. (OR=2.90) , while the loss of the gene GSTT1 is five fold more than it compared to the control group (OR= 5.55). The results indicated a significant effect of the loss of the two genes in having asthma in the urban and rural areas, it is six times and a half larger in the urban areas compared to the control group of the same area. Asthma probability is ten times more in the case of the loss of both genes in the rural areas compared to the control group in the same area. And no significant difference has been discovered when gene patterns of patients in both areas. The results also indicated that the probability of having asthma in male patients is two times and a half as many as it in the females when the gene GSTM1 is lost compared to the control group. While the same probability is eleven times in the case of the loss of both genes in the females as many as it the control group. The loss of Missing the gene GSTT1 is three times in the male patients and five times in the females compared to the two control groups. The results indicated significant differences when gene patterns of males and females are compared in the case of the loss of both genes. The statistical analysis indicated that the loss of both genes in the smoker patients contributes 17 fold in the probability of having the disease compared to the control group. While the probability increases four times approximately in the nonsmokers when the gene GSTM1 is lost compared to the control group (OR=3.77; 95% C1=1.69 - 8.407). No difference has been noticed in the gene patterns of the smoker and nonsmoker patients. The results indicated that the loss of both genes has been in all the age categories. No significant differences have been noticed among the gene patterns between the patients of less and those who are more than 50 years. Asthma probability has been found 7.77 times more in the case of the loss of both genes in the patients who have a family disease history compared with the control group. The asthma probability is twice when the gene GSTM1 is lost in those patients who do not have a family history disease compared to the control group. Upon comparing the gene patterns of patients according to the family disease history, there has been an effect of the loss of both genes and having a family disease history on the probability of asthma, it is almost six times when both genes are lost. The results indicated that the probability increases three times in the loss of the gene GSTT1 in the educated patients compared to control group. The probability also increases seven times when both genes are lost in the uneducated patients compared to the control group. When comparing the gene patterns of patients according to levels of education, significant differences between the educated an uneducated have been approximately twice in the loss of the gene GSTT1.

Abstract: استهدفت الدراسة الحالية عزل وتشخيص الفطريات المستنبتة في اوراق نبات الاس Myrtus communis واختبار فعاليتها المضادة للاحياء المجهرية وفعاليتها الانزيمية. - اظهرت نتائج عزل الفطريات المستنبتة في 500 قطعة اوراق للحصول على عدد كلي للعزلات مساويا الى 99 عزلة ف | The present study was aimed to isolate and identify endophytic fungi from leaves of myrtle Myrtus communisand study their antimicrobial and enzymatic activities. - Results of fungal isolation from 500 leaves fragments revealed isolation of 99 endophytic fungi represented a total colonization frequency (CF) of 20.4%. These fungi were related to 23 species or isolates, where Aspergillus spp. prevailed over all others (11 species) with CF of 14% for all Aspergilli, Aspergillusniger and Aspergillusflavus showed the highest CF 7.2% and 3% respectively, other Aspergilli represented Aspergillusparvulus (CF 1.6%), Aspergilluscandidus (0.4%), Aspergillusraperi, Aspergillusclavatus, Aspergillusglaucus, Aspergillusornatus, Aspergillussclerotioniger, Aspergillusterreus and Aspergilluswentii were all showed CF of 0.2%.Other isolates fungi from leaves fragments were four morphologically different isolates of Penicillium with 0.4% CF for each. Additionaly, isolates of Cladosporium sp. (2%) and Cladosporiumcladosporoides (0.4%), as well as Cunninghamella sp., Drechsleraaustraliensis, Alternariaraphani, which showed 0.2% CF for each, Paecilomyces variotii (0.6|%), and different isolates of sterile fungi (White and Hyaline colonies) were also obtained. - Study the antagonistic activity of isolated endophytes using dual culture method against five plant pathogenic fungi(Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium sp., Macrophomina phaseolinaandRhizoctonia solani)taking into account the percentage of inhibition of pathogenic fungi, results revealed variation of antagonistic activities between endophytes and pathogens. Different cases of antagonism were also appeared ranged from mycoparasitism of the endophytes on pathogens or vice versa, to competition between the two fungi and to the appearance of inhibition zone between them, this result may indicates the affinity of using some isolated endophytes in biological control applications against or controling fungal plant diseases. - Effect of ethylacetate extracts of culture broth of active endophytes shown in the last experiment against two bactria E.coli, S.aureus and the yeast Candida albicans using disc diffusion method, where filter paper discs were imprignated with different concentrations of fungal broth extracts. Results showed variation of inhibitory activity against bacteria with different endophytes, bacteria and conc. of the extract. Regarding the effect onC.albicans and filamentous fungi, most fungal broth extracts showed no inhibitory activity against yeast and no extract as well showed inhibitory activity on filamentous fungi. These results give indication thatbroth extracts contain antibacterial compounds. - Addition of 20% crude fungal broth of some endophytes to the culture medium showed significant inhibitory activity against filamentous fungi which did not respond to broth extracts, percentage of inhibition ranged between 0 - 77.08% and maximum inhibitory activity was shown by Penicillium sp. Isolate. These results give indication that some of crude filtrates contain antifungal compounds. - Analysis of broth extracts of some endophytes using TLC technique showed the content of extract of number of UV illuminated spots isolated on TLC pates having different Rf values, Bioautography showed inhibitory activity of some of these isolated spots against E.coli, S.aureus and the Filamentous fungus F.oxysporum. - Testing the extracellular enzymes activities of isolated endophyles on solid media, enzymes included amylase, lipase, pectinase, laccase, cellulase and protease showed variation in secretion of these enzymes, as well as, no endophytes showed the affinity of secreting all tested enzymes. Results also showed the high affinity of some endpohytes to secrete enzymes that could be use in multiple important applications after separation andcharacterizationof these enzymes.

These compounds were characterized by the Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H - NMR), Mass Spectra, and the results were virtually identical to what is expected. It has been determined LD50 for the two ligands - after dissolved dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO - and account for them safe therapeutic dose, reaching 0.14 g / kg and 0.24 g / kg, respectively. In order to see the effectiveness of the two ligands on the parasite compared with the infected group and treatment with a drug metronidazole, these two ligands have been administered orally the therapeutic dose each separately on two groups of mice which infected by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Three other groups of mice that non - infected have been also administered separately with the parasite first and second ligands and dimethyl sulfoxide, to see some of the side effects of these three compounds in comparison with the two groups of positive and negative control. At the level of probability (p ? 0.05), the results of statistical analysis show a significant variation, remarkable inhibitory effect of the number of cysts that reached the less impact to the second ligand rate about 2.9. in the seventh day of the injury and treatment. In the fifth day of the injury and treatment, the highest inhibiting effect of metronidazole was at a rate of 0, while in the seventh day of them, the first ligand was a compromise in effect, amounting to at a rate of 1.1. The Histological study of tissue of the cecum, liver and spleen showed a normal state for a negative control, and an occurrence of severe tissue changes in a positive control. In the cecum tissue, the mucosal was thin, and there were crashes in the crypts of Lieberkühn, with infiltration in inflammatory cells, as well as the expansion of the cells lining the crypts, and the disappearance of or crash submucosal layer, as well as severe hemorrhage in muscularis, and thickening in serosa. There was severe congestion of the blood vessel which was observed in liver tissue, as well as thrombus which appeared attached to the wall of the blood vessel, and infiltration of inflammatory cells out of the blood vessel toward the hepatic tissue, especially macrophages and eosinophils. It was also noticed the disappearance of hepatic architecture with degeneration of the liver cells and a clear sinusoids expansion. In addition to vacuolation of liver cells, that the tissue sections showed, with the occurrence of bleeding along the hepatic tissue. The changes in the spleen tissue represented in the occurrence of severe bleeding on the length of the lymphatic tissue of the spleen with infiltration of inflammatory cells, especially macrophages, and the happening of megakaryocytes. There is a remarkable improvement could be noticed in each tissues of cecum, liver and spleen of the infected groups and treatment with metronidazole and the first and second ligands. The improvement ratios were close to some extent : in the treatment group with metronidazole there was observation in tissue cecum to the occurrence of the four layers of its component, and the happening of a little bleeding which, with infiltration of inflammatory cells, and this is roughly similar to what shown by histological sections of two treatments by the first and second ligands. The liver tissue of the group treated with metronidazole showed the occurrence of radially arrangement obviously hepatic cells around the central vein, and liver cells with nuclei appeared clear and centralized with esinophilic cytoplasm, and hepatic cells proliferative as some binucleated hepatocytes, with a simple expansion to sinusoids and the proliferation of kupffer cells, the treatment groups with two ligands marked by the presence of a small clot within the central vein of the liver as well as reported in the treatment group with metronidazole. Tissues sections of the spleen tissue of infected mice treated group by metronidazole showed a clear proliferation of white pulp, which appears containing arterioles clear, white pulp is also surrounded by proliferation red pulp. And showed tissue sections of the group of infected animals and treatment by the first and second ligands as well as the proliferation of lymphocytes, with the presence of megakaryocytes.Showed the three groups non - infected by the first and second ligands and dimethyl sulfoxide, the lack of side effects on each of the cecum tissue, liver and spleen, except for a very simple infiltration of inflammatory cells from macrophages in the cecum of the group treatment by the second ligand

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة في كل من مزرعة العرهون التابعة لقسم وقاية النبات - كلية الزراعة ومختبرات قسم علوم الحياة - كلية التربية للعلوم الصرفة في جامعة تكريت خلال المدة 1/9/2013 - 10/6/2014 تضمنت دراستين الاولى تم فيها تقدير تاثير اضافات متنوعة من المدعمات الكاربو | The study was conducted in each of the Al - Mushroom farm in Department of plant protection, College of Agriculture and the laboratories of Biology Department - College of Education for Pure Science at the University of Tikrit for a duration of 1/9/2013 to June 2014. The first studies were included the adding of carbon, nitrogen and other additives at casing period on productivity, quality characteristics and chemical composition of Agaricus bisporus mushroom. The results showed significant increased (p<0.05) in total production and biological efficiency when adding carbon supplement at 1% of starch and became 26.41 kg/m2 and 88.03% respectively, also with nitrogen supplement at 1% from Erbil feed (EF) that’s became at 23.20 kg/m2 and 77.33% respectively, compared with the same value in control group which at 21.68 kg/m2 and 72.26% respectively. Also both treatments were recorded earlier in production at 15 and 16 days after casing compared with 18 days in a control, while the qualitative characterizes has been the treatment of 3% from methionine the highest content of total antioxidants and became at 1975 µg/g dry weight compared to the 1572 µg/g dry weight in the control treatment, and the highest protein content was became at 40.32% in treatment of 1% of LB compared with 22.36% of their content in the control treatment. The treatment of 1% of EF was recorder as higher content from mineral of calcium, magnesium and iron at 390, 2574, 50.74 µg/g dry weight compared to the content in the control group at 290, 1683 and 37.64 µg/g respectively, and the treatment of sodium selenite 5% was recordes a higher content of selenium at 5.00 µg/g compared to the control treatment which at 4.00 µg/g dry weight. The treatment of EF also recorded a higher copper content at 108.60 µg/g dry weight compared to the control treatment which at 37.00 µg/g. The other study was apply to assessment the effects of replacing casein at 5, 10 and 15% by the Agaricus bisporus product from the treatments with starch and multi - vitamin and EF on some growth and physiological parameters in female rats feding for 28 days. The results showed that the presence of mushroom in food has caused a significant decline in weight. The present of mushroom powder at 5% in rats feed lead to significant increasing in hemoglobin and total account of RBC resulting in 12.53 and 6.36× 106 cell/mm3, 13.13 and 7.06× 106 cell/mm3, 7.36× 106 cell/mm3 for starch, multivitamins and EF, respectively, compared to 12.25 and 6.8× 106 cell/mm3, respectively. As well as the significant increased in the total counts of white blood cells that were at 5.50, 5.20 and 5.00 x 103 cells/mm3, respectively, with the starch, and at 5.70, 5.40 and 5.20 x 103 cells/mm3, respectively, with multivitamins and at 5.90, 5.50 and 5.40 x 103 cells/mm3, respectively, for the EF group compared with the control group were at 5.15 x 103 cell/mm3. also was significant increased in differential WBCs as lymphocytes with increasing the replacing percentage for treatments above. Also due the replace of casein by mushroom on proportions referred to in the above change in blood biochemicals parameters which significant decreased in urea, total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoproteins and increase the concentration of high density lipoproteins, as well as reduced the activity of enzymes Alanine amino transferase (AST), Aspartic amino transferase (ALT) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) with increasing the percentage of replacing. As for the effect of replacing the same proportions of the mushroom instead of casein on growth and physiological characteristics of female rats with experimental diabetes induced by Alloxan and fed for 17 days. The results showed that the development of diabetes trial led to a reduction in the rate of animal weights and an increase in the relative weight of internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys of infected sugar group, and became at 0.46, 4.39, 0.60, 0.46 and 1.19 g/100 g respectively when compared with the control animals, at 4.07, 0.42, 0.39, 0.23 and 1.04 g/100 g, respectively. And decreased of red blood cells that were at 5.93 x 106 cells/mm3, respectively, for the group affected by diabetes, while at 7.36 x 106 cells/mm3 respectively the healthy control group. And decreased WBCs in the infected animals with diabetes trial and became at 4.83 x 106 cells/mm3 compared with the healthy control group which at 7.03 x 103 cells/mm3. Also there was caused in significant increased in glucose concentration, which was on the first, 7th, 14th, and 17th days at 428, 405, 431.60 and 432.20 mg/100 ml respectively, in comparison with a control without diabetis that was at 123.33, 124.66, 126.33 and 125.33 mg/100 ml, respectively. Further to increased concentrations of urea, cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoproteins and a decrease in the values of high density lipoproteins also, increased the values of enzymes activity of each Alanine amino transferase(ALT), Aspartic amino transferase (AST) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) compared with the non - diabetic infected control group. That feeding female rats of experimental diabetes on the replacement rates of the mushroom instead of casein in their diet has led to the significant decline of the weight and relative weight of internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys compared with animals infected with the induced diabetes with increasing rates of substitution. The results also showed that increased in total counts of red and white blood cells that was at 6.40 x 106 cell/mm3 and 5.00 x 103 cell/mm3 respectively when replacing 5% casein from mushroom compared to the infected control group were at 5.93 x 106 cell/mm3 and 4.83 x 103 cell/mm3 respectively. The substitution of casein with 5, 10 and 15% from mushroom was caused to significantly lower of glucose values to became 273.40, 251.60 and 302 mg/100 ml compared with control group infected which at 432.20 mg/100 ml. Also, because of the found of mushroom in the food was caused a changed in the biochemical blood, which significantly reduced the concentration of urea, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and increase the concentration of HDL. As well as significantly reduced the enzymes (AST), (ALT) and (ALP) activity with the replacement rate increase compared with values in the animals infected with diabetes induced by Alloxan. The results concluded that the possibilty of use starch and EF at 1% for the commercial mushroom production. Mushroom also can be used as a food for lowering blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyseride, LDL and liver enzymes with increase in HDL for the people suffered from diabetes, obesity and heart diseases.

The proportion of infected women with cutaneous leishmaniasis ulcers was higher 56.522% than males 43.47%, the age group ten years and less was more group that being infected with rate 47.83% while the age group that rang from 71 to 80 was the less categories being infected in percentage 0.87% with a significant differences in the level of improbability less than 0.05. The presence of multiple ulcers was high 71.304% than single ulcers 28.696%. The presence of ulcers that length 1 cm and less (64%) more than other with more than 1 cm (36%) with statistically significant. The cutaneous ulcers were distributed on different areas of the body, the injuries on face was more 36.242% with anumber of 54 cases followed by upper limbs in rate 33.557% with anumber of 36 cases, the sore shoulder came latter with apercentage 1.342% in a significant differences at the level of improbability less than 0.05. The percentage incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis was rise in kids and students in rats 33.043%, 39.130% respectively in a comparison with earners, housewives and of officers their percentages were 24.349% and 3.478% consecutively in statistically differences at 0.05 probability. The diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis infections was done depending on clinical diagnosis based on the characteristics of the morphological and pathological ulcers, culture methods, impression smears and histopathological diagnosis. Clinical diagnosis for the cutaneous ulcer was recorded 100% percentage in comparison with culture method 10.435% versus 74.782%. percentage to positive smears, while the result of positive histopathological diagnosis was 88.571% on vision of promastigote of Leishmania parasite on semisolid medium while a adoption of existence amastigote from as appositive result of smears and histopathological method of the tissue biopsies taken from ulcer. The histopathological method was high efficiency supported clinical diagnosis when compared to other methods this rise in the diagnosis ratio has been demonstrated in significant differences in statistical probability less than 0.05.A study of amain impacts of histopathological changes in cutaneous ulcers on the infected skin layers at the level of light microscopy was also conducted. These pathological effects were in epidermis of skin including hyperkeratosis, pseudoepitheliomatous epidermal changes, ulcers and emergence of a dark colour, thickening in this layer accompanied suppurations and desquamation of chronic cases. As for the dermis layer, the inflammatory cells were infiltrate include plasma cells, macrophages, lymphocytes and eoisophils, disturbance in the order of layers especially in acute ulcers was taken, while the pathological effects were more in chronic ulcers as observed granulomatous inflammation and necrosis. The amastigote from were presence inside and outside the phagocytic cells.Aswell as some immunological changes that associated with the infection were studied in patients therapists by Pentostame (Sodium Stubogluconate) medication and uninfected control group by measuring the levelsof some cytokines IFN - ?, TNF - ?, IL - 12, IL - 17A and the chemokine MCP - 1. The level of IFN - ? was elevated in serum of cutaneous leishmaniasis patients and reached to 54.118±1.740 pg/ml, then the level was decreased during therapy and recorded 34.421±0.984 pg/ml after 1 - 3 dose a then dropped more after 4doses and more 22.489±0.795 pg/ml compared to uninfected control group 5.092±0.805 pg/ml. As well as the case of TNF - ? which rose their concentration in serum of CL patients and reached to 98.145±2.925 pg/ml, then decrease after treatment 71.507±2.901 pg /ml, 48.381±2.379 pg/ml after 1 - 3dose and more of treatment respectively, while the mean of TNF - ? in control group was 13.173±1.388 pg/ml.An increase in the level of IL - 12 was observed in the group of CL patients 845.598±16.273 pg/ml then the level was dropped during treatment and recorded 619.164±20.209 pg/ml, 495.578±27.038 pg/ml respectively but in control the concentration was 160.222±11.761 pg/ml. IL - 17A level was elevated in CL patients 227.268±5.027 pg/ml and decreased during therapy reach to 170.512±5.481, 126.443 ± 5.565 pg/ml after 1 - 3 doses and four doses and more respectively. The concentration of MCP - 1 chemokine was increased in CL patients 111.0397± 6.985 pg/ml then dropped during treatment 71.084± 2.636 pg/ml after 1 - 3 doses then dropped more 49.543± 2.167 pg /ml after four doses and more while they were in control 12.268 ± 1.609 pg/ml. The results of statistical analysis showed significant differences between these cytokines and their groups at the level of probability less than 0.05.

For the purpose of this study, preliminary experiments were carried out to find the most effective doses of plant extracts and it was found that these doses were 100, 150, 250 mg/kg body weight for, tomato, celery and gordeen roket extracts respectively. Fifty rats (12 - 14 weeks age) were randomly divided to ten groups (treatments) each with five replicates.These groups are : Group (1) (control group) : Rats without any treatment.Group (2) : Rats treated with H2O2.Group (3) : Rats treated with celery extract (150 mg/kg b.w.).Group (4) : Rats treated with celery extract (150 mg/kg b.w.) and H2O2.Group (5) : Rats treated with Eruca extract (250 mg/kg b.w.).Group (6) : Rats treated with Eruca extract (250 mg/kg b.w.) and H2O2.Group (7) : Rats treated with tomato extract (100 mg/kg b.w.)Group (8) : Rats treated with tomato extract (100 mg/kg b.w.) and H2O2.Group (9) : Rats treated with vitamin E (500 mg/kg b.w.).Group (10) : Rats treated with vitamin E (500 mg/kg b.w.) and H2O2 Results could be summarized as follow : 1. Compared with the control, the oxidative stress induced by H2O2 caused significant increase in total count of leukocytes, neutrophilis, acidophils, basophilis, monocytes and lymphocytes, and in the level of blood sugar (glucose), Total cholesterol, triglycerides(TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL - C), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL - C) atherogenic index (First and second), Urea, Malondialdehyde (MDA) and percentages of dead sperms and abnormal sperms.This stress showed as well, a significant decrease in body weight, Hb, PCV, high density lipoprotein (HDL - C), total protein, Albumin, glutathione, sperm total number, percentages of motile and normal sperms, testes weight, prostate and epididymis weights and seminiferous tubules diameter. This treatments, however, showed no significant variations in activity levels of ALT and AST enzymes and seminal vesicle weight.2. In comparison with treatment (2) (rats treated only with H2O2) , the treatment of rats, under oxidative stress with celery extract showed a significant decrease in total count of leukocytes neutrophils, lymphocytes and in blood suger, cholesterol TG atherogenic (First index) blood urea, MDA, Percentage of dead and abnormal sperms and seminal vesicle weight.This treatment showed also a significant increase in level of Hb, PCV., body weight, total protein, Albumin glutathione, number of sperm, percentages of motile and normal sperms, testis weight, epididymis weight and prostate weight. However no significant variations were detected in levels of acidophils, basophils, monocytes, HDL - C, atherogenic (second index) and seminituferous tubules diameter.3. Treatment of Eruca extract and compared with the treatment of H2O2, showed significant decrease in lymphocytes number and in the level of blood sugar, cholesterol (T.G), LDL - C, VLDL - C and atherogenic (first and second index) blood urea, MDA, percentage of dead and abnormal sperms and seminal vesicles weight. The treatment showed also a significant increase in body weight, numbers of acidophils, monocytes, basophils, HDL total sperm numbers, percentages of motil and normal sperms and weights of testis, epididymis and prostate.However, no significant variations were observed in Hb, PCV, Leukocyte total counts, neutrophil, albumin, ATL and AST and seminiferous tubule diameter.4. The treatment of tomato extract showed similar results to that of celary and Eruca extracts except, a significant increase in AST enzyme and seminiferous tubules diameter was detected in case of tomato extract (i.e not seen in case of other plant extracts).5. Compare with H2O2 treatment, rats under oxidative stress treated with vitamin E (500 mg/kg b.w) showed significant decrease in lymphocyte numbers, Total cholesterol, TG, LDL - C, VLDL - C, atherogenic (first and second index), urea, MDA and percentages of dead and abnormal sperms.At the same time the vitamin E treatment showed a significant increase in body weight , Hb, neutrophils, acidophils , monocytes, total protein, glutathione, total sperms number, percentage of motile and normal sperms, and weights of testis, epididymis, and prostate.However, this treatment (compared with H2O2 treatment) showed no significant difference in the level of PCV total count of leukocytes, basophils, blood sugar, HDL - C, albumin, ALT, AST, seminal vesicle weight and seminiferous tubules diameter 6. The most important histological changes exhibited by the animals under oxidative stress were apparent interstitial degeneration, necrosis of supporting and spermagonial cells, separation of these cells in semicyclic manner from the basement membrane, decrease in spermatids (spermatoblasts) and mature sperms in seminiferrous tubule cavity.These effects (due to H2O2 treatment) were decreased to minimal levels when the H2O2 treated rats exposed to plant extracts and vitamin E, used in this study.7. Animals treated with plant extract or vitamin E alone (i.e not treated before with H2O2) showed no clear difference from the control animal (without any treatment) though some improvement was observed in some physiological, biochemical and histological characters of blood and male reproductive system of the studied animals The above results revealed that the plant extract used in this study play an important role in decreasing the harmful effect of the free radicals in the animals (rats) studied.

Abstract: The study includes distribution of the Cutaneous Leishmania in some governorates in Iraq. Specimens are included cases of outpatients in hospitals like : Al - Karamah, Al - Sadir Teaching Hospital in Baghdad, Al - Hilla Teaching Hospital, Al - Hussein Teaching Hospital and Ein Altamer General Hospitals in Kerbala, Al - Sadir Teaching Hospital in Al - Najaf, Al - Karamah and Al - Zahraa Teaching Hospitals in Wasit, Al - Diwanyia General Hospital. Al - Hussein General Hospital in Al - Nasiriya, Al - Smawa General Hospital, Al - Sadir Teaching Hospital and Al - Qurna General Hospital in Al - Basrah during October 1122 to march 1121 Cutaneous Leishmania is consider a major problem that faces the patients because it causes deformities in the infection region. The study includes 330 cases of skin ulcer in which 225 of them were microscopically positive. Parasitic growth was done using two types of cultural media NNN and RPMI - 1640.The results have shown a considerable difference between male and female in which male was significantly exceeding 131) %22.11 (and female was 94) %72.44 (and 139) %72.44 (of outpatients from rural areas increased in numbers from outpatients of urban areas, and only) %12.11(from urban areas.The number of ulcerations in body has exceeded infection, that means more than one ulceration in male 83 (85%) and for female 41 (62%), and concerning infection in three or four ulceration, it is approximately equal and normally distributed on face areas 99 and a percentage of (44%) then lower arms are 92 and a percentage of (40.80%) and the upper parts are 33 and a percentage of (14.66%). Also, one infection was recorded on The study shows that 46 patients in a percentage of (%20.44) having a dry infection; whereas 179 patients (%79.55) having the wet type.For accurate diagnosis of Leishmaniaa species distributed in Iraq, PCR Was used technique and diagnosed two types of Leishmania parasite that causes the illness. A band in a length of 560 bp in 186 samples related to Leishmania major and the band sample was 750 bp related to 39 Leishmania tropica.Through studying the samples in Kerbala City, the number infected samples were 125 for the years of 2010 - 2011 the actuality is (73) infection and (52) infection from 2011 - 2012 in a ratio of (58.4 % and % 72.7 accordingly) in different inhibited areas in the governorate in which (51)) %71.2 (was in Ein Al - Tamir Suburb, and 29 cases of) %11.1 (in Al - Husseinya Suburb, as well as 17 cases of (13.6%) in Al - Hur Suburb, 16 cases) %21.2 (in the south quarters and 7 cases of (5.6%) in the north quarters and only 5 cases of (4%) in the city center.The molecular diagnosis in Polymerase Chain Reaction for Kerbala governorate samples have shown 31) %17.2 (of L.tropica, 22) %24.7(of them were male and 9 of) %4.1 (of them were female. L. major was 94 of) %42.1 (in which 55 of) %77 (were in male and 39 of) %12.1 (were in female.The immunological study for the patients serums with L. major by ELISA technique has significantly shown raised values of IgG and IgM during infection in comparison with the control group, then it declines slowly after treatment in which IgG was in ratio (1811.1 ± 523.1 mg/dl), and IgM was in ratio (166.7 ±23.6 mg/dl). Also, in L. tropica - IgG was in ratio (1722.1 ± 524.0mg/dl) and IgM was in ratio (25.3±182.9mg/dl) in comparison with control specimens, and then the ratios have declined after treatment dosages with Pentostam drug.The cellular dynamics values have shown an abstract increase in which interferon - gamma (IFN - ?) in infected patients with cutaneous L. major were (221.1±2.2mg/dl) which declined after treatment abstractly to (7.12±1.1mg/dl) as well as for L tropica (22.1±7.2mg/dl) which shows no significant abstract difference after treatment with control.An increase appears in cytokine IL - 10 that reached in L.major (122.1±8.2mg/dl) and after treatment was (8.11±2.2mg/dl) and in L. tropica was (222.1±2.2mg/dl) with no significant abstract difference after treatment with control specimen.As a simple attempt to find a vaccine for Leishmania disease a Lipophosphoglycan was isolated and purified as known factor for promastigot stage. The vaccine injected for two groups of Bulb mice in a concentration of purified vaccine (L.majorand Ltropica) to study the immunological response by detecting the Lymphocyte Transformation assay, the Delayed Type Hypersensitivity test and the PhagocytosisIndex.In lymphocyte transformation the ratio of L. tropica was % 7.2 and for L. major was % 21.7 and there is significant difference by P? 0.05 in comparison with control specimen in which its ratio was %7.4, and for Delayed Hypersensitivity test study the average foot thickness injected with vaccine and the other foot which injected with phenol - saline solution - only (1.11 ± 2.12ml) for the first group and (1.21 ± 2.72) for the second group, and for the control group it has registered (1.77± 1.15 ml) with a considerable difference of P? 0.05. By calculating the ratio of Phagocytosis Index cells, it was 17% and 27.6% for the first and second groups while for the control group it has been reaching 9.10%. Therefore, we can get advantage from these values as indicators for the rule of vaccine in the immunological response and triggering of vaccine idea for this disease.

Abstract: جمعت 265 عينة من مستشفى تكريت التعليمي العام وشملت هذه العينات عينات سريرية لمرضى راقدين في المستشفى ومرضى مراجعين لها. اخذت العينات من المرضى المشتبه باصابتهم بخمج السبيل البولي وخمج الجروح والحروق وخمج الاذن الوسطى ولكلا الجنسين وباعمار مختلفة. انجزت هذ | A number of 265 samples had been collected from Tikrit Teaching Hospital (T.T.H.).These samples were taken from inpatients and outpatients suspected to have Urinary Tract Infection, Wound & Burn Infections and Mid - Ear infection for males and females in varied ages. The practical part had been fulfilled during the period from the beginning of December 2006 till the beginning of March 2007.Isolates diagnosed were identified depending on morphological and cultural characteristics. The results revealed 60 Staphylococci isolates, which shows 27 isolates (45%) were S. epidermidis, 13 isolates (21.66%) S. saprophyticus, 10 isolates (16.67%) S. xylosus, 3 isolates (5%) S. lentus, two isolates (3.33%) S. heamolyticus, and one isolate (1.67%) for each of S. simulans and S. hominis Ten (34.48%) of patients are located in the age group (15 - 30) years. while concerning the classification according to sex, females were (65.5%). Otitis media and Wounds and Burns infections, their ratio was high (61.1%, 53.8%) consequently both in males in comparison with females. Concerning the relationship between the infection and the residence and the level of education, the results revealed that isolation of Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) were high in rural areas and in uneducated persons regarding the various infections than those live in urbans and educated ones. A of main tests were carried out in order to achieve the purpose of this study according to the planned goals, some of which are the virulence factors of Coagulase negative Staphylococci. These include DNase, Urease, Lipase, Lecithinase, and Alkaline phosphatase.The results revealed the ability of 67.5% of isolates to produce Alkaline phosphatase, and 46.6% of isolates to produce Urease, also 27.5% of isolates were able to produce Lecithinase , and the ability of 19.16% to produce Lipase, while 22.5% of isolates were capable of producing DNase. In addition to these tests, the test for producing ? - lactamase was done, 85% of isolates were positive to this test because ? - lactamase is one of the significant enzyme which are produced by bacteria since it improves the resistance of bacteria for antibiotics. Thirteen different antibiotics used for the Antibiotics susceptibility tests which show that most effective antibiotic is Nitrofurantoin (95%), followed by Amikacin (93.3%), Novobiocin(90%), Chloramphenicol(88.3%), Rifampicin (78.5%), Vancomycin (75%), Ciprofloxacin (73.3%), Clindamycin (70%), Gentamicin (58%), Penicillin G (50%), Trimethoprim (50%), Tetracycline (40%) and Cefoxitin (18.3%).
