Abstract: The aim of This study is to determine the prevalence of OXA ? - lactamase in pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from clinical and other environmental cases in Al - Diwaniya Teaching Hospital using phenotypic and molecular methods.The Samples of the study were collected from various sources and they were 390 samples for the period from November 2011 to March 2012, and they includ (292 clinical specimens and 98 environmental sample), the results of cultural and biochemical tests showed that 50 isolates (39 of them were from clinical cases and 11 were from environmental samples), belonged to ps. aeruginosa, and their diagnosis were confirmed by 16s - ribosomal RNA, and the study showed that all the isolates containing the 16s - ribosomal RNA gene, which represents the designed diagnostic gene in this study.The results of this study showed that the higher rate of P. aeruginosa isolates was due to burns infections (23.68 %) , followed by respiratory tract infections (sputum) that were (15.38 %) and then the case to otitis media infections (12.5 %), and lastly that due to urinary tract infections (10.49 %), while the rate isolation from the environmental samples was (5.11 %) from the floor of burns department, followed by (10.8 %) from the medical instruments of department workers.It was noted from this study that the age and gender of the patients have some effect on the infection by P. aeruginosa it was recorded that the higher rate of infection was in patients older then 61 year old, and regarding gender, it was found that females are more infected than male, especially in urinary tract infections. The study showed that there is high rate of infection in the admitted patients, in older people and in those who need urinary catheterization, in addition to those with severe burns and those in the intensive care units. Drug sensitivity test had been carried out for all the bacterial isolates to 22 types of antibiotics by disk diffusion method of Kirby - Bauer, and this study had indicated that there was relatively high resistance from P. aeruginosa to ? - lactam antibiotics, aminoglycoseides, and fluoroquinolone. The results also showed that the studied isolates has possibility of producing broad - spectrum ? - lactames enzymes, and this is supported by the resistance of this bacteria to the third generation cephalosporins and to Alaztronam, it was also shown that there was difference in the resistance to carbapenems antibiotics, the resistance rate to imipenem and meropenem were 16% and 64 %, respectively. Polymyxin B and Polymyxin E also called (Colistin) antibiotics were also used, and the resistance rate %0 for Colistin and %4 for Polymyxin B, that means there was two isolates which are resistant to Polymyxin B and this resistance was a challenge to the success of therapeutic efforts. this study noted that there was 22 (44%) isolates which were resistant to at least three types of antibiotics, and regarded as multi - drug resistant (MDR) and Extensive - drug resistance (XDR) isolates were26 (52%) which was the higher rate among the three types of resistance, The third type of resistance was 2 (4%) which represents the resistance to all types of studied antibiotics (PDR). The ability of these isolates to produce broad - spectrum OXA ? - lactames enzymes groups was investigated thrrough detection of presence of genes blaOXA - 10, blaLCR - 1, blaOXA - 18, blaOXA - 1, blaOXA - 2 in these isolates by using the polymerization chain reaction enzyme technology] (PCR) it showed 50/50 (100%) isolates contain blaOXA - 10 gene, which belongs to the OXA group I, and the results of this study showed no amplification results for blaOXA - 18, blaLCR - 1, blaOXA - 1, blaOXA - 2 genes, which belong to the main groups of broadspectrum OXA ? - lactames enzymes which are OXAgroup II, OXAgroup III and OXA groupV respectively except OXA18 enzyme

It also included the preparation and detection of two hybrid nano compounds, one of them from the disinfectant chlorhexidine and the other from the tannic acid. The inhibitory activity of the nano disinfectant was assessed against the isolated bacteria in this study also, the antioxidant activity of the hybrid nano tannic acid was identified and the results showed the following : 1 - As a total 32 samples were taken from burned patients hospitalized in the burning ward Imam Al - Hussien medical city in Sacred Karbalaa governate. It had been obtained 8 isolates (34.78) % from Pseudomonas spp., 7 of them were Pseudomonas aeruginosa and one was P. oryzihabitans , 4 isolates (17.39) % were Acinetobacter baumannii, 4 isolates (17.39) % were Klebsiella pneumoniae, and one isolate (4.34) % of Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli, Serratia liquefaciens and Chryzeobacterium meningosepticum and two isolates (8.69) % of Staphylococcus aureus in addition to one isolate (4.43) % from Candida guilliermondii yeast.2 - Chlorhexidine disinfectant and tannic acid were used in preparation of the two hybrid nano compounds after intercalating each of them on layers of double hydroxide (Mg/Al - LDH). FT - IR spectrum studies has shown the appearance of specific chemical groups and the disappearance of others while the spectrum of x - ray(XRD) has shown the appearance of new levels of diffraction in the spectrum of the hybrid nano disinfectant Mg/Al - CHX - LDH and the spectrum of the hybrid nano tannic acid Mg/Al - TA - LDH as compared to the spectrum of the Mg/Al - LDH, which indicate that the two prepared compounds under study is a nano hybrid compounds. Results of the scanning electronic microscope has shown, the change in the shape of the surface of the nanohybrid compounds that prepared above as compared to the layer of double hydroxide. It turns out from the results of the examination with the use of Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), that the diameter of the particles of hybrid nano disinfectant and hybrid nano tannic acid were (121.66 and 77.70) nm, respectively. 3 - The inhibitory activity of the hybrid nano disinfectant Mg/Al - CHX - LDH and the free disinfectant (Free CHX) has been studied and the results revealed followings : a. The hybrid nano disinfectant has the highest inhibitory activity against the two bacterial isolates P. aeruginosa (11 and 23 - A) with an inhibition diameter of 24 mm for each, while the inhibition diameter for the free disinfectant was 23.5 mm against the isolate P. aeruginosa 4 - C.b. The hybrid nano disinfectant showed the highest inhibitory activity against the two isolates A. baumannii (16 - A and 31 - A) with an inhibition diameter of 18 mm for each, while the highest inhibition activity for the free disinfectant was against the isolate A. baumannii 22 - B with an inhibition diameter of 19.5 mm.c. The hybrid nano disinfectant showed the highest inhibitory activity against the isolate K. pneumoniae (16 - B) with an inhibition diameter of 24.5 mm, while the highest inhibition activity for the free disinfectant was against the isolate K. pneumoniae 15 - B with an inhibition diameter of 24.5 mm also.d. The highest inhibition activity for the hybrid nanoic disinfectant against each of bacteria P. mirabilis and E. coli with an inhibition diameter of 23.5 mm, while the highest inhibitory activity for the free disinfectant was against the bacteria E. coli with an inhibition diameter of 24.5 mm, while the bacteria C. meningosepticum was the least affected among the other types of the isolated bacteria with an inhibition diameter of 8 mm and it was resistance to the hybrid nano disinfectant.e. The highest inhibition activity for the hybrid nano chlorhexidine was against the isolate S. aureus 21 with an inhibition diameter of 28.5 mm, while the highest inhibition activity for the free chlorhexidine was against the isolate S. aureus 22 - A with aninhibition diameter of 31.5 mm.f. The inhibitory activity of both the hybrid nano and the free disinfectant against C. guilliermondii yeast was closely to each other with an inhibition diameter of (28 and 29) mm, respectively.4. The study of antioxidant activity confirmed the following : a. Using free radical scavenging method, the IC50(Half maximal inhibitory concentration) value against ABTS free radical were at 10 µg /ml for free tannic acid while it was at 125 µg /ml for the hybrid nano tannic acid Mg/Al - TA - LDH.b. Measurement of ferric ion reducing power revealed that free tannic acid had reducing power greater than that of the hybrid nano tannic acid

One hundred samples were collected from people who suspected to infect with fungal skin disease from patients coming to Al - Diwaniya teaching hospital from beginning of October 2013 till the end of May 2014. These samples from (skin, hair and nail). All samples that taken from patient were subjected to direct examinations by using wet touch of (KOH 10%) solution. At the same time the samples were grew on sabroud media to determine the type of fungal skin diseases of human. The direct examination shows positive results of 72 samples which represent 72% while for laboratory growth results, its shows 65 samples with positive results 65%. There are three types of Trichophyton fungus had been isolated which are T.rubrum 28 isolates, T.mentagrophytes 16 isolates and T.schoenleinii 4 isolates and there was one type of genus Microsporum which is M.canis 24 isolates. The results show that Tinea corporis infection is the common and its more among females than males where it is 26.39% and 13.89% respectively, then Tinea capitis which is 19.4% in males which is higher than in females which represents 13.89% while Tinea unguium was in females more than males which was in females 16.67% while in males 9.72%. The percentage of fungal skin infection was differ according to the location where the number of infections in the rural area for all types of Tinea were more than the number of infection in the urban area where the number of infected people with Tinea corporis was 18 which represent 25% while in the urban the number was 11 which represent 18.28% while the number of infected people with Tinea capitis in the rural area were 16 which represent 22.22% and the infected in the urban were 8 which represent 11.11%. While Tinea unguium the number of infected people in the rural 10 which represent 13.89% and in the urban 9 people which represent 12.5%. The diagnosis of isolated fungi depended on phenotype of fungal growth and microscopic examination, in addition to special tests for diagnosing skin fungal infections. Also the PCR was used for diagnosis and the work had been completed by using genotypic tree for fine diagnosis and detection the fungal species. The result were send to the genes bank site to be sure about the fungus type through comparison with the registered fungi in this site and by using MEGA6 program for genetic tree analysis of type (unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean). The results of analysis shows clear converge of local Trichophyton spp. Isolates with Trichophyton rubrum in comparison with other types that appears in the genetic tree analysis while Microsporium diagnosed through genetic tree analysis of type (up GMA tree) and the result of analysis shows clear converge of local Microsporium spp. Isolates with Microsporium canis compared with other types of genetic tree analysis. The effect of silver nanoparticles that is used against growth of T.rubrum, T.mentagrophytes and M.canis. The results show that all the concentrations used were effective in stopping of growth of T.mentagrophytes when deal with the standard measure when dealt with concentration of 4 mg/l the more effective in stopping of radiating growth of the fungus. Regarding the fungus T.rubrum the concentrations of 4 mg/l more effective in stopping of growth while there was no difference for 1mg/liter concentration. Regarding the fungus M.canis, the mentioned concentrations had large effect on fungal colonization growth compared with the standard and this fungus more than other fungi affected by nano silver ions

Abstract: تضمنت الدراسة الحالية اجراء مقارنة حول نسب انتشار الطفيليات المعوية وعلاقة الاصابة ببعض مكونات الدم المحيطي (اقيام الهيموغلوبين والعدد الكلي لكريات الدم البيض واعداد الحمضات) في مرضى من منطقتي ابو غريب والعامرية خلال المدة مابين شهر تشرين الاول 2011 ولغاي | The present study has included the comparison 0f prevalence rates of intestinal parasites and the relationship of infection of certain components peripheral blood (hemoglobin values, the total number of white blood cells, eosinophils numbers) in patients of each of the regions of Abu Ghraib and Amiriyah during the period from October, 2011 until July, 2012 as it has been collected (2449) stool samples that were distributed between (1430) stool samples from Abu Ghraib Hospital auditors and (1019) stool samples of auditors of the Health Center in Amiriya and also it has been collected blood samples. Stool samples were examined by direct method using brine (Normal Saline) and tincture of iodine (Lugol's Iodine) and the floating way by sulphate zinc water (ZnSo4.7H2O) to investigate the prevalence of intestinal parasites and the relationship of infection by age, sex, number of family members, and the type of water used for drinking. The results showed the presence of significant difference at the possibility(p<0.05) in total infection for the regions of Abu Ghraib and Ameriyah where the percentage was (36.29%) in the area of Abu Ghraib and (27.57%) for the Amiriyah area. It has been diagnosed five types of intestinal parasites (protozoa + Helminthes) as follows : A - Intestinal protozoa in the Abu Ghraib and for the Amiriyah area : 1 - Entamoeba histolytica was (17.62%, 16.68%).2 - Giardia lamblia was (11.95%, 5.49%).3 - Entamoeba coli colon was (2.44%, 2.55%(.B - Helminthes1 - Dwarf tapeworm Hymenolepis nana was (2.37%, 1.76.(2 - pinworm Enterobius vermicularis was (1.88%, 1.07.(We Did not observe any significant differences between the infection of intestinal parasites and sex factor where the total infection for males was (6.53%) while for females, it reached (8.06%) for Abu Ghraib, as to the Amiriya region, also we did not notice any significant differences between the infection of intestinal parasites and sex factor where The total infection for males was (7.26%) while for females, it was (6.84%(. It has been also found that there are significant differences and when probability of (P <0.05) for the infection with parasite (Giardia lamblia) between the areas of Abu Ghraib and Amiriyah where infection rate reached (11.9%) in Abu Ghraib while for the Amiriyah area, it has reached the ratio of, (5.49%) for the same parasite, while there was no significant difference between the other four types of parasites. The individual injuries are prevalent Lama has reached bilateral injuries (56) bilateral injury in the Abu Ghraib area, and (13) in the area of bilateral injury Ameria and most of the injuries were bilateral parasite (E.histolytica+ G.lamblia). The results showed that there is a significant difference when probability (P <0.01) for the distribution of age groups, reaching the highest infection rate in the age group of (29 - 20) years, (56.68%) and the lowest infection in the age group (60 years and over) the percentage of infection was (21.42%) in the Abu Ghraib area, while for Amiriyah area, it has been recorded the highest infection rate in the age group of (29.20), where it reached (49.22%) and the lowest injury in the age group (60 years and above) where The percentage of infection was (4.82%(. Also, it was noticed the emergence of variation in the values of the components of the peripheral blood and the lack of significant difference when probability (P <0.05) in the area of Abu Ghraib where it recorded the highest proportion of hemoglobin in the parasite (Entamoeba histolytica), amounting to (12.40 g / 100 ml) and the lowest percentage hemoglobin was recorded in parasite (Enterobius vermicularis) amounting to (9.46 cells / mm3), and the lack of a significant difference in the total number of white blood cells where it recorded the highest rate in the parasite (Entamoeba histolytica) 6776.32 cells / mm3 while the lowest rate was recorded in the parasite (Enterobius vermicularis (5074.37cell\mm3, and lack of a significant difference for eosinophile numbers was recorded the highest proportion in parasite Hymenolepis nana 516.63 cell\mm3 and the lowst rate was recorded in parasite Entamoeba histolytica 159.63 cell\mm3. As for the Amiriyah, it hasn’t been noticed any significant differences when probability (P <0.05), where the highest proportion of hemoglobin in the parasite (Entamoeba histolytica), was (11.76 g / 100 ml) and the lowest percentage hemoglobin recorded in parasite (Enterobius vermicularis) was (9.90 g / 100ml), and there was the lack of a significant difference in the total number of white blood cells, where it has been recorded the highest rate in the parasite (Entamoeba histolytica) 6574.59 cells / mm3 and the lowest rate was recorded in the parasite (Entamoeba coli) 5700.00 cells / mm3 and the lack of a significant difference for eosinophile numbers. The highest proportion in parasite Enterobius vermicularis was 518.65 cell\mm3 and the lowst rate in parasite Entamoeba coli was 140.29 cell\mm3. The results also showed that there is a high significant difference when the probability (P <0.01) in the incidence of intestinal parasites and the relationship of water used for drinking where the study proved that the highest infection rates recorded of the people who use canal waters and water tank where It percentages was (49.54%, 39.00%), respectively while the lowest rate of infection was recorded in people who use boiling water which reached (14.02%). The same applies to the Amiriya district which recorded the highest percentage of people who use tap water and the lowest percentage of those using boiling water reaching ratios (41.49 %, 12.5%), respectively.

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة الحالية في قسم علوم الحياة - كلية التربية للبنات - جامعة الكوفة للمدة من تموز 2011 ولغاية حزيران 2012 والتي تهدف الى دراسة وبائية طفيلي Giardia lamblia وتحديد الانماط الوراثية للطفيلي لدى المرضى المصابين بالاسهال في محافظة النجف الاشرف باستع | The Present study was carried out in the Department of Biology - College of Education for Girls - University of Kufa for the period from July 2011 until June 2012, it aims to study the prevalence of the Giardia lamblia parasite and identify genotypes of the parasite in patients with diarrhea in the province of Najaf by using the microscopic examination and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The results of microscopic examination of 3383 stool samples, 500 samples are infected by the G. lamblia parasite, with a total percentage of 14.8%. The results of the statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences at the level of probability P ? 0.05 where the rate of infection in the liquid samples was higher than it is in semi - liquid samples, reaching 17.2% and 10.7% respectively. As the results show the incidence of the parasite in males are higher than it in females reached 16.8% and 11.1%, respectively, as well as the spread of infection with the parasite in the rural areas more than the urban area where the ratio was 19.6% and 9.1%, respectively, the results also show that the highest infection rate with the parasite was in the age group aged (1ess than year) and the lowest in the group aged (36 - 40) years, reaching 28.0% and 10.0%, respectively. The results also show that the highest percentage of parasite infection was in the September, 44%, while the lowest infection rate was in December, reaching 6.1%. The results of the current study show that the highest infection rate parasite was in patients in the hospital of Manathira which amounted to 16.5% and that the lower infection rate was among patients of the Medical Al - Sader city hospital, reaching 11.7%. The results of extracting (100) Stool Samples by microscopic examination for patients infected with G.lamblia showed the presence of the gentic material DNA of the G. lamblia parasite in (41) samples which constitute 41%, and results of the examination by PCR by using Triose phosphate isomerase (Tpi) Showed that there are signiinficant differences at the level of probability, p ? 0.05 percentage infection with the genotype (B) compared with the genotype (A), which were 61% and 39.1% respectively.The highest rate of infection with the genotype (B) in the semi - liquid samples was 69.3% compared to the liquid samples, which amounted to 67.9%, while the genotype (A) had the highest rate of infection in the liquid samples, which amounted to 32.2% while it was 30.8% in the semi - liquid samples.As the results showed that the percentage of infected male with the genotype (B) was more than it is in females, reaching 62.5% and 58.9%, respectively, and in type (A) the infection of females was higher than the infection males 41.2% and 37.5% respectively. As the results show the spread of genotype (B) in the urban area is more than the rural area, the percentage of infection is, 72.8% and 66.7% respectively, while type (A) was more prevalent in rural than in the urban, where the percentage of infection is 33.4% and 27.3% respectively.The results also showed that the highest incidence of the genotype (B) was in the age group (41 - 45), it reached 75% and the lowest percentage in the age group(1 - 5) (11 - 15) (26 - 30) (36 - 40) years, amounting to 50%, while genotype (A), the highest rate of infection, when age group (1 - 5)(11 - 15)(26 - 30)(36 - 40) years to approximately 50% and the lowest percentage of infection in the age group (41 - 45), was 25%.

Abstract: انواع تحت العائلة Tubificinae ديدان مائية حمراء اللون يتراوح طولها مابين 1سم الى عدة سنتمترات وقطرها حوالي 1ملم تنتمي الى العائلة Naidiadae، الصنف الثانوي قليلة الاهلاب، صنف السرجيات التابع لشعبة الديدان الحلقية، وتسمى عاميا" بديدان الوحل. تقطن هذه المجم | Species of Subfamily Tubificinae are aquatic red worms, their length ranged between 1cm to several centimeters, and their diameter about I mm, and they are classified with Family Naididae, subclass Oligochaeta, class Clitellata, phylum Annelida. They are commonly called "sludge worms". This group inhabit the rivers, lakes and ponds sediment, and some species also found in marine habitat, they are considered as one of the main benthos components specially in freshwater, with increase abundance in soft sediment rich in organic matters. Sludge worms individuals are hermaphrodite, reproduced sexually by cross - fertilization, eggs led in cocoon and hatched directly without any larval stage. They are also reproducing asexually by ArchitomyAccording to the economic importance of this worms as good food for fish, their ecological role as well known bio - indicators, little studies about their identification were available and absence of check list of their species in Iraq, the present investigation idea was come to concern primarily with sorting and identification of subfamily Tubificinae from River Tigris and some water surface in Baghdad /Iraq. For this purpose six study sites were chosen, including a drainage canal, North Baghdad (S1); three sites on the shore of River Tigris (S2, S3 & S4) ; in addition to site in Al - Jeish canal, East Baghdad (S5), finally the sixth site was from pond in Al - Zawra'a park, within the center of Baghdad (S6). These sites were characterized by sedimenet rang from clay, silty - clay to silty with a percentage of organic matter ranged between higher percentage of 9.9% in site S5 and 0.7% as a lowest percentage in site S1. According to water temperature, salinity and pH values, they were identical in all study sites.3628 individuals were sorted from 24 samples collected from all study sites. The sorting results revealed that the highest number of worms (1346 ind.) recorded in site S5, while the lowest number (326ind.) recorded in site S4. Twelve species were identified belonging to seven genera, and Limnodrilus was the most dominant genus. Five species were considered as new records to Iraq, which are L. silvani in S6, P. hammoniensis & Monopylophorus irroratus in P. moravicus in S2 and Rhyacodrilus cocciensis in S6.Five species of Limnodrilus were recorded, including L. hoffmeisteri, L. claparadienus, L. profundicola, L. udekemianus, and L. silvani with a percentage of 52%, 1.40%, 4%, 10.03% and 0.35% for each species respectively. Two species of Potamothrix were recorded which are P. bavaricus and P. hammoniensis with a percentage of 2% and 2.05% respectively, in addition to Branchiura sowerbyi, Psammoryctides moravicus, Tubifex tubifes, Rhyacodrilus cocciensis, and Monopylophorus irroratus with a percentage of 26.07%, 0.33%, 3%, 0.27, and 0.24 respectively. The higher frequency percentage of 100% was recorded by L. hoffmeisteri and B. sowerbyi.High densities of Tubificinae were recorded during all study period. Higher density of 6882 ind./m2 was recorded during in site S1; 4296 ind/m2 in site S2 ; 4496 ind/ m2, ind/ m2in site S3; 3730 ind/ m2 in site S4; 15218 ind/ m2 in site S5 and 7026 ind/ m2 in site S6.The results of relative abundance revealed that L. hoffmeisteri was the dominant species in site S3 and abundant in other study sites. B. sowerbyi was abundant in all study sites, while other species were recorded between few to rare species except L. udekemianus which was abundant in site S5, and T. tubifex in site S4. It was clear from species richness index, Shannon - Wiener diversity index, and species uniformity index, that the highest value for each index was recorded during cold months (Dec. - Feb.), 1.47, 2.83bit/ind, and 1.17 respectively, while the result of cluster analysis depending on Jaccard index of similarity revealed that the highest similarity of 80% found between S1& S6.The investigation also includes description of identified species and photos of identification criteria for each species. B. sowerbyi was easily recognized from other species by having gill filaments at the posterior end of the body. Species of Limnodrilus were characterized by the absence of hair chaetae, and they are differentiated by the shape of penis sheath, due to the close similarity of chaetal shapes, with the exception of L. udekemianus in which its anterior chaetae characterized by long and curved dorsal tooth. Species of Potamothrix were recognized by the presence of a pair of spermathecal chaetae, its shape was used to differentiate between P. hammoniensis, which have long gutter - shape and P. bavaricus, which have plade - like shape with triangle base. P. moravicus also have spermathecal chaetae but it was differed from that of Pomatothrix species by its long and narrow shape. T. tubifex was identified by its tub - shaped penis sheath, while R. cocciensis, was recognized by their penial chaetae in segment NO. XI, and M. irroratus by the presence of pseudopenis and its sheath.

This study was also used to know the effect of the extract in normal (healthy) female rats. In this study (54) female rats were utilized which were divided into (9) groups with 6 rats for each group. Diabetes mellitus was induced in (30) female rats, were distributed into 5 sub groups. One of them was considered as control group for the infected rats, and three groups of them were treated with different concentrations of the extract (250, 500 and 750)mg/kg while the fifth group was treated by the chemical drug Glibenclamide (0.6) mg/kg. The other 24 normal rats were also divided into 4 sub groups, one of them considered as control group. And the other three groups were treated with the extract concentrations (250, 500 and 750)mg/kg. The treating period with the plant extract and the drug continued for 30 day.Results of this study were as the following : ? A significant (P< 0.05) decrease was showen in total body weight, insulin hormone and HDL - c levels, total WBC and RBC count in addition to Hb concentration in infected group of diabetes mellitus in comparison with healthy control group.? A significant (P< 0.05) increase was clear in the levels of glucose, TC, TG, LDL - c, VLDL - c, urea, creatinine and ALT and AST enzymes in infected group in comparison with healthy control group.? The healthy rats that treated with the extract concentrations were showed a significant increase in their total body weight at the end period as compared with the first day of experiment, there was also a significant (P < 0.05) increase in body weights of the infected rats that were treated by the two concentrations (500, 750) mg/kg of extract as compared with infected control group.? The infected rats that treated by all three concentration of plant extract and the glibenclamid drug were exhibited a significant (P< 0.05) increase in insulin level as compared with infected control group.? on the other hand, it was also showen a significant (P< 0.05) decrease in glucose level of infected rats that have been treated by the three concentrations and the (0.6) mg/kg concentration of glibenclamid as compared with infected control group.? The levels of TC, TG, LDL - c, VLDL - c were significantly (P< 0.05) decreased, in contrast a significant increase was occurred in the level of HDL - c in infected rats when they treated by all the concentrations of plant extract as compared with infected control group.? The urea and creatinine levels showed a significant (P< 0.05) decrease when the infected rats were treated by the two concentrations (500, 750) mg/kg as compared with infected control group, while in the healthy rats, the urea level showed a significant (P< 0.05) decrease as compared with healthy control group.? A significant (P < 0.05) decrease was occurred in ALT enzyme level when the infected rats were treated by all extract concentrations and the chemical drug. But AST enzyme level was significantly (P < 0.05) decrease when the infected rats were only treated with the two concentrations (500, 750) mg/kg of plant extract in addition to glibenclamid as compared with healthy control group.? The two concentrations (500, 750) mg/kg of plant extract and the concentration (0.6) mg/kg of the glibenclamid drug caused a significant (P< 0.05) increase in total RBC count, and the hemoglobin concentration, while only the larger dose of plant extract caused a significant (P < 0.05) increase in total WBC count in infected rats as as compared with infected control group.In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that the two concentrations (500, 750) mg/kg of alfalfa leaves extract gave a good results, even better than the reference drug, glibenclamid for treating diabetes mellitus, in addition to ameliorate the metabolic disorders that accompany it.

Abstract: اجريت هذه الدراسة للمدة من كانون الثاني 2011 ولغاية كانون الاول 2011 للمرضى الراقدين والمراجعين لمستشفى تكريت التعليمي وبعض المختبرات الخاصة في مركز المدينة وضواحيها والذين يعانون اعراض مرضية مختلفه ولفئات عمرية مختلفة ترواحت بين اقل من سنة الى 61 سنة، ح | This study was conducted for the period started from January 2011 until December 2011 on inpatients and outpatients of Tikrit educational hospital and some private laboratories at Tikrit city and surrounded suburbs. Symptoms of different diseases among various age groups varies between less than one year to 61 years. The tests used the (ELISA & PCR) and the analysis of the PCR - RFLP to discriminate the infection by assemblage of Giardia lamblia and differentiate between pathogenic amoeba Entamoeba histolytica and nonpathogenic Entamoeba dispar compared with microscopical examination. The result of present study showed that (75) person who represent (37.5%) were infected by Giardia lamblia and (75) person who represent (37.5%) were infected by E.histolytica/E.dispare complex, out of (200) stool samples which have been tested by microscopical examination. Epidemiological study showed no significant difference among the sex for the two species parasites whereas a high percentage for infection recorded in group at age (1? - 10) year for Giardia lamblia and E.histolytica / E.dispar complex reach to (60%, 36%) respectively. Regarding the place of living Giardia lamblia in rural area showed infection rate of (19.5 %), while infection rate by E.histolytica/E.dispar complex reaches (22.5%) in urban area. Statistical analysis shows a high difference of significance according the source of water supply. Tap water showed high incidence for initiating infection which reaches to (93.3%) by G.lamblia and (90%) for E.histolytica/E.dispar complex. For the infection rates and their relationship to the educational level, the results show that the highest rates of infection recorded in non - educated (52%) and (73.3%) of Giardia lamblia and E.histolytica / E.dispar complex, respectively. Depending on the sample texture, the result show that oily diarrhea is more correlate with infection reaches to (33.3%) of Giardia lamblia and the watery diarrhea form 40% by E.histolytica / E.dispar complex, while simultaneous occurrence of both symptom (colic and loss of appetite) are the most symptom synchronized with infection records (44%) for Giardia lamblia and (36%) for E.histolytica / E.dispar complex. The percentage of infection by Giardia Lamblia in this study depends on the test results of the ELISA was (20%), while the percentage of infection E.histolytica/E.dispar complex was (6.7%). Testing has shown sensitivity compared to microscopic examination reaches to (22.6%) and (8%) for both parasite respectively, while the test showed a high specificity which reaches the rate (93.3%) and (100%) for both parasites respectively. Result of PCR showed a percentage of infection by E.dispar about (32%) (64 sample) from the total samples, whereas it does register any cases infection by E.histolytica. By counting the results of the PCR for the three genes (ssu rRNA + TPIA + GDH) they show a total infection by Giardia lamblia which was (10.5%) (21 samples). This study recorded percentage of infection Giardia lamblia depending on the result of the three Genes separately amounted to (4%), (5%), (3%) for (ssu rRNA, TPIA, GDH) respectively. According to the result of the analysis PCR - RFLP for GDH gene by using the enzyme NIaIV, it did not record any infection by Giardia lamblia (assemblage A), whereas (6 samples) recorded (100) by Giardia lamblia (assemblage B), by using the enzyme Rsal to determine the secondary assemblage shows that the total (6 samples) infected there are 5 samples carrying infection by two type of secondary assemblage returning to the assemblage B (assemblage BIII +BIV) and only one sample infected with (assemblage BIV). To determine the assemblage and secondary assemblage for the parasite result compared with amplification of TPIA gene with lysis by enzyme for the resulting amplification for GDH gene, resulting a ratio of (14.3%) for a sample infection by both assemblage (A+B) and secondary assemblage (BIII+BIV) together, and a ratio of (57.14%) infection by assemblage A only and (21.4%) infection by secondary assemblage (BIII+BIV) together and (7.14%) infection by BIV only.

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة في مختبرات قسم علوم الحياة في كلية التربية بهدف عزل وتشخيص بعض انواع بكتريا حامض اللاكتيك ومحاولة اختبار قابلية خلاياها او النواتج الايضية منها وكذلك دراسة تاثير المستويات المختلفة من درجة الحرارة والاس الهيدروجيني في القابليـة التثبيطية لب | This work aimed to investigate the effects of some lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species (cells or their metabolic products) at different temperatures and pH levels on some soil pathogenic or toxin produced fungi species. Six LAB isolates and the identification was depended on the morphological and cultural characterized and biochemical testes, the isolates were determined as Lactobacillus delubricii subsp. delubricii, Lactobacillus delubricii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactobcillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Leuconostoc mesentroides and Streptococcus thermophilus, and four fungal species Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Aspergillus fumigatus and Rhizopus stolinfer were identified. In this study the highest inhibition effect against the above mentioned fungi was shown by L. acidophilus as a significant (P< 0.05) efficacy where the diameter of inhibition zone in case of M. canis, T. mentagrophytes, A. fumigtus and R. stolonifer was 26, 32, 30 and 28 mm respectively. Less inhibition activity was exhibited by Leu. mesentroides and Str. thermophilus while the lowest inhibition was shown by L. delubricii. Results showed also that the temperature optimal for the growth of bacterial species (except L. casei and Str. thermophilus) tested and their inhibition activity was 30 °C. However, temperature of 35 °C was the optimal for the highest inhibitory effect of both L. casei and Str. thermophilus. At 25 °C of studied bacterial species showed decreased inhibitory effect against the tested fungi. Concerning the pH, the present study showed that the highest inhibitory of all tested bacteria species (except L. acidophilus) was at pH 6.5, L. acidophilus showed such activity at pH 5.5. This study revealed that the inhibitory effect of metabolites produced mixture of the tested bacterial species was directly proportional with its concentrate. Where this mixture was used at media concentration of 10, 20 and 40 mg/ml cultural. However, metabolic products from L. acidophilus, Leu. mesentroides and Str. thermophilus was the most effective in inhibition activity compared with the rest of the bacteria species used particularly at 40 mg/ml cultural media

The results of geological screening and mineralization by using X - Ray Fluorescence and X - Ray - Diffraction showed that Beherii cave was mainly composed of manganese with 102 ppm comparing with other caves. While the concentration of iron and sulfur oxides were very low for all caves. The rocks of Beherii and Khanas caves were mainly composed of Dolomite (CaMg (CO3)2), Sharanish cave was composed of Calcite (CaCO3) and Dolomite with the closed ratio, while the rocks of Bejeel and Inishky were composed mainly of Calcite. The isolated bacteria in this study were identified according to cultural and morphological characteristics and biochemical tests, while the bacillus species were identified by using Microgen Bacillus Id System. Twenty two bacterial isolates were identified from total samples. There were nine (9)identified isolates from Beherii cave with 40.9% including Arthrobacter spp., Lysobacter spp., Caulobacter spp., Bacillus freudenreichii and Bacillus subtilis in with 4.5% for each isolate, while there was 18.1% of Methanogenic bacteria with its four genuses including Methanobacterium spp., Methanobrevibacter spp. Methanospirillium spp. and Methanosata spp. In Sharanish cave there was one isolate of sulfur oxidizing bacteria with 4.5 % from the total isolates. Three isolates were identified from Khanas cave included Pseudomonas spp., Xanthobacter spp., Clostridium spp. with 4.5% for each isolate. In addition, it was obtained from a cave Bejeel on six isolates included Bacillus lichiniformis, Bacillus lentus and 2 isolates of Bacillus cereus group, Streptomyces spp. and Gallionella spp. with 4.5% for each isolate and Merismopedia spp., Myxococcus Xanthus, Clostridium spp. were Isolated from Inishky cave with 4.5%for each isolate. The relation between some of bacterial species were studied by detection of the lytic ability of Lysobacter spp. and Myxococcus xanthus for Arthrobacter spp.The microbial role in caves were studied by detection of the ability of some isolated bacteria in Calcium Carbonate (calcite) formation and estimatation of calcite production, Xanthobacter spp. was the highest productive bacteria which gives0.2073 gram during 14 days comparing with other bacterial species.In addition, the effect of temperature and pH on calcite formation by Bacillus freudenreichii were studied, the results showed variation on calcite shape in 20?C and 30?C while the highest value of calcite production in pH.8 was 0.1336 gram comparing with pH.9 with 0.0190 calcite gram. The study also detected the ability of some isolated bacteria to oxidize of iron, manganese and sulfur, where Streptomyces spp. Gallionella spp. and one isolate of bacillus cereus group have shown the ability of oxidize iron on leptothrix medium while Bacillus freudenreichii, Bacillus lichinformis, Bacillus lentus, one isolate of Bacillus cereus group and Streptomyces spp. have shown the ability to the oxidize of manganese on Krumbein and Altmann Agar Medium.

Abstract: The cotemporary world witnesses currently a rapid change due to the challenges imposed by the information technology in all scientific aspects.Hence, the scientific knowledge has become a prerequisite for each individual in this world. This led to a new view on education, in that it is no longer to be a process of providing information but it is a technique for a better learning.However, the main goal of education has shifted to focus on how to make the student to think appropriately and how to utilize the skills of the scientific thinking in order to motivate their thinking and understanding of knowledge as well as discovering the facts and relationships concerning the scientific phenomena aiming to form the generalities. The problem of the current research is mainly concerned with specifying the classical methods adopted in the Iraqi schools which do not match the contemporary scientific development. This research aims at utilizing the strategy of the strategy of forming generalizations according to Helda Taba Inductive Model as a teaching technique in order to identify its effect on : 1 - achievement in Biology.2 - the skills of the scientific thinking of the Fifth - Year female pupils.For sake of achieving the above two aims, two null hypotheses have been formed as follows : 1 - There are no statistically significant differences at level of significance of 0.05 between the mean scres of the female pupils (the experimental gronp), who have been taught according to the strategy of forming generalizations the strategy of forming generalizations, and the mean scores of those female pupils who have been twght classically in the achievnent test. 2 - there are no statistically siguificant differences at level of significance between the experiemental group, who have been taught according to the strategy of forming generalizations, and the mean scores of those female pupils who have been taught classically in the test of the scienhific thinting skills. In order to verify the above two hypotheses, the researcher has conducted an experiment which lasted for one whole academic semester.This experiment inluded : - The lesson plans. - The scientific thinking skills test (30 items). - An achievement test (60 items).The discrimination and difficulty power as well as the alternative action of the two test have been computed.Moreover, validity and reliability of the two tests have been secured. The reliability of the scientific thinking test has been found out to be (0.75) and the reliability of the achievcment test has been found out to be (0.92). This was done by using koder Richardson formula - 20. The researcher has prepared an experimental design, comprising two groups, the first one of which is called the experimental group which is to be taught according to the strategy of forming generalizations.While the second group is called the control one which is to be taught classically. The sample of the study covers (46) female pupils at the fifth - year secondany school (scienbific branch).The whole sample have been randomly distributed into two groups, the experimental one is of (24)pupils and the control one is of (22)pupils. The equalization between the testees in the variables of age, intelligence, exinformation, previous achivement in Biology and the scientific thinking skills has been conducted. The experiment group was conducted at the second academic semester (7weeks).The researcher himself had taught the two groups.The results obtained has been statistically analyzed by using two - indepenbent samples t - test.The results gained showed a better performance of the experimental group more than that of the control one in the scientific thinking and the achievement tests. In the light of the above results, the researcher reconmends the use of the strategy of forming generalizations in accordance to Helda Taba Inductive Model.Also, the researcher recommends to conduct other studies and research on other subjccts other than Biology on different school stages to find out the impact of the strategy of forming generalizations on thinking skills.

Abstract: تعد الاصابة بقبل الارتعاجPre - eclampsia من الاعتلالات الخطيرة التي قد تظهر في الثلث الثالث من مدة الحمل اذ تتصف هذه الاصابة بارتفاع ضغط الدم وظهور بروتين الالبومين في الادرار. وقد ظلت اسباب نشوء هذه الحالة غير واضحة المعالم, اذ اعزيت بعض من اسبابها الى ا | Preeclampsia is considered as one of the serious complication in the third trimester of pregnancy. It is associated with hypertension and proteinuria. The causes of preeclamptic are still not well understood. Evidences suggested the involvement of metabolic related mutations in the disease. In the current study, the genetic mutations of CBS and MTHFR genes are studied as markers for the diagnosis of preeclampsia. Sixty preeclamptic pregnant women and forty healthy pregnant women as control group diagnosed by the physicians at Azzahra Teaching hospital for obstetrics &pediatrics in Najaf province from December 2012 to August 2013 The poly merase chain reactions technique was used to evaluate the incidence and frequency of C?S &MTHFR mutations. A questionnaire was conducted to obtain the information of the patients and the control group. Genetic mutation were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)and agaros gel electrophoresis. The information indicated that the age of pregnant women, gestation age, previous history of the patients, family history and parity are involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The results of the present study of preeclampsia showed a significant increase (P ? 0.01) in patients (25 - 34) years old when compared with the other group. where the results found a significant increase (P <0.01) of Preeclampsia occurred during (33 - 39) weeks of pregnancy. And in the patients with previous history for preeclampsia there was significant increase (P<0.001) compared with healthy pregnants. Pregnants with preeclampsia in the family history showed significant increase (P< 0.01) as for women pregnant for the first time showed and significant (P<0.01) and constituted 8% pregnanst with preeclampsia who had diabetes mellitus. The extraction and quantification of cell free fetal DNA (cff DNA) revealed a significant (P<0.0001)increase in preeclamptic patients when compared with those of healthy pregnant women. It is confirmed by the use of an internal negative control through the monitoring of SRY gene (Y chromosome gene) amplification that the gene belong to the infant and 40 pregnant woman were followed up till the labor. Thus, 9 of them had delivered males, while 30 had delivered females. The wild type SRY gene band was obtained clearly from those of male delivery, but not from those of female delivery. Mutations of C?S gene were analyzed by theuse a primer intended to amplify a fragment of171 bp.The rate of mutation was found to be 51.7% and 5% in preeclamptic patients and healthy pregnant women respectively and Odd Ratio=20.31, P value=10 - 7. The C677T mutation of MTHFR gene was verified by the use of a primer designed to amplify a fragment of 198bp. The prevalence of mutation was indicated to be 68.3% and 17.5% in the preeclamptic patients and healthy pregnant women respectively and Odd Ratio =10.17, Pvalue =6.2*10 - 7. Results demonstrated the wide involvement of C?S and MTHFR gene mutation in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, but they are no crucial for the development of the disease. In addition there are so many factors thatmay be involved in such development.

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة في قسم علوم الحياة - كلية التربية - جامعة تكريت من شهر تشرين الثاني 2010 الى شهر تموز 2011 ? وكان هدف الدراسة هو معرفة بعض الصفات الفيزياوية والكيمياوية للمياه المطروحة من شركة مصافي الشمال/بيجي وامكانية استخدامها لري بعض المحاصيل الزراعية ب | This study was conducted at the Department of Biology in the College of Education - University of Tikrit. The study aims at estimating some physical and chemical characteristics of water raised from the North Refineries Company / Baiji and can be used to irrigate some crops after treatment with a number of physical methods. It also aimed at estimating some heavy elements and their impact on the growth of plants that have been studied (tomato, eggplant, sweet pepper, hot pepper). The region from which samples have been brought of the area was Albu Juwaree village that is located in the city of Baiji and adjacent to the company. Besides, it occurs near wide agricultural areas. After estimating some physical and chemical characteristics of water, soil, and the proportion of oil waste, qualities of plants were studied as well as the assessment of (carbohydrates, proteins) and some of the heavy elements and their effects on the growth of those plants.The results showed that the water of industrial waste led to a reduction in the proportion and natural growth of plants. The most affected seeds were the seeds of sweet pepper, where the total percentage of germination was(0%) when infected %)100) and the least affected seeds were the seeds of tomato, where the total percentage of germination seeds was (80%) when water is contaminated (100%). The treatment by filtering has achieved the best germination of seeds of tomato and sweet pepper, where the ratio was (100%). It turned out that contaminated water has prevented the natural growth of those plants in respect to the number and the size of leaves, the length of roots and the weight of fresh and dry leaves. The methods of physical treatment showed that lightening (25%, 50%, 75%) made to the contaminated water led to the removal of the significant effects, especially when lightening was (75%).The results indicate that there is no significant differences in the lengths of the roots of tomatoes and eggplants, except for the root of hot and sweet pepper.While the heavy elements, which was part of the study in this research, beginning with cadmium was at its highest value at the treatment by filtering and less value in (100%). Through the study it was found that the percentage of lead in all studied plants were (0.00) ppm. The Results showed that the contaminated water led to the reduction of the proportion of carbohydrates with the increase of pollution(%100), where the least proportion of carbohydrates was at the treatment by filtering. The results also showed a decrease in protein concentration with the least proportion at lightening and less value in. (25%)The results showed that the water content of contaminated industrial heavy metals studied (cadmium - lead - copper - zinc - nickel) has decreased at all treatment when treated by filtering, as well as for the remaining elements, except lead, which was (0.00) in all plants and all lightening ratios.The results of this study show that treatment of contaminated water with industrial oil waste by physical methods led to minimizing the negative impacts of such water in reducing the percentage of germination and the reduction below the natural growth compared with non - treatment water and showed that the best way of treatment for the best growth of plants were lightening with (75%) and treatment by filtering. The best response to the treatment was tomato and the most resistant to pollution were (tomato and eggplant) and the most affected by contamination and least resistant was sweet pepper.

From 61 patients by two samples per patient, also were collected 228 samples of stool from the laboratory of the Department of parasites by two samples of 114 patients for the period from January 2014 to January 2015. Where shown on biopsy results which were subject to examination by the rapid urease test (RUT) the presence of 60 (98.4%) cases, while there were 23 (37.7%) case of those bacteria being positive related to biopsy was not significant differences between the two tests performed. When the distribution of test results (RUT) and culture according to age group, it appear that the highest percentage of infection was in 50 - 41 age group that which showed the highest percentage on examination (RUT) of the number of infected at 16 (26.23%) cases, either in the culture technique number of infected at 9 (14.75%) cases. But when the results of each of the examination (RUT) and culture were distribution according to the sex of the patient's infection was the higher in the females than males reaching males 28 (45.90%) cases in females of 32 (52.46%) cases for examination (RUT). No significant differences appear between the sexes in terms of infected. While the males in 8 (13.11%) and in the case of females was 15 (24.59%) case for the culture technique it did not show significant differences between the sexes in terms of the patients. While taking stool samples to check the stool antigens, it was found that there are 76 (66.7%) cases diagnosed while the technology for the polymerase chain reaction gene cagA to 49 (43%) cases have significant differences between the tests performed. When distribution the results of each of the stool antigens and polymerase chain reaction technique by age group category the highest infected was in 46 - 55 the age group with the number of 23 (20.18%) people case for screening stool antigens. The test results of the technology polymerase chain reaction showed that highest rate of infection was in the 35 - 26 age group where the number of patients was at 15 (13.16%) case.The results of the stool antigens examination also showed that the infection rate among males was higher than females, 39 males (34.21%) and in the case of females has reached the number of 37 cases (32.46%) casesThat did not show significant differences between the sexes patient. The technical results of the polymerase chain reaction by sex has been the injury was higher in females than males reaching 22 in males (19.30%) cases, while in females was 27 (23.68%) cases did not show significant differences between the sexes in terms of the infected. The results of the study conclude that (RUT) and stool antigen test is the fastest in the detection of infection from the bacteria H. pylori and then comes beyond culture technique for biopsy sample and then polymerase chain reaction for stool samples

Laboratory experiments were also done from the period of 1/8 to 1/3/2014, to determine the activity of leaves and roots extracts that resulted from plants of pots treatments to inhibit growth of some bacteria genera causing Dental Caries i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus pneumonia.A pot experiment included seventy two transplants (age of one month and 8 cm height) that were transplanted in plastic pots (one transplant per pot) in 1/4/2013. Pots were filled with sandy soil and peatmose 2 : 1 v/v. Plants Irrigated with two levels 50 and 25% of field capacity. Foliar fertilizer was used at three concentrations of 0, 3 and 6 ml/L that sprayed twice on plant shoot till complete wetness during 15/4 and 1/6/2014. Organic fertilizer was also used with irrigation water at three concentrations of 0, 4 and 8 ml/L twice on 1/5 and 15/6/2014. The design of the experiment was Randomized Complete Blocks Design (RCBD) in a factorial arrangement (2×3×3) with four replications per each treatment. Revised Least Significant Difference (RLSD) was used to compare treatment means at probability 0.05 level when treatment effect was significant.Results of pots experiment were as follows : 1 - Increasing water stress level caused a significant decrease in the most characteristics of vegetative and root growth except for stem internode and root lengths, while increasing in concentration of foliar and organic fertilizer gave the opposite effect of water stress.2 - Water stress caused a significant decrease in leaves content of total chlorophyll and nutrient elements N, P, K, Mg and protein percentage, while foliar and organic fertilizer caused a significant increase on the above characteristics.3 - Water stress caused a significant increase in proline percentage and Vit.C. and Vasicine and Vasicinone alkaloids, while foliar and organic fertilizer caused a significant decrease in proline percentage and Vit.C. and a significant increase in Vasicine and Vasicinone alkaloids.4 - The treatment of plants that were subjected to the water stress via foliar or root fertilizing or both of them caused a significant increase for most of vegetative and root growth characteristics, total chlorophyll, nutrient elements, protein percentage and Vasicine and Vasicinone alkaloids.5 - The treatment of plants that were underwent to the water stress via foliar and root fertilizing caused a significant decrease in proline percentage, Vit.C. and stem internode and root lengths.6 - The interaction of the three studied factors gave a significant positive effect to rise alkaloids of plant.Laboratory experiments included picking fresh leaves and root of plants that dried aerial in a shade, and then extracted it via methanol alcoholic of 70%, it was detected for some chemical components of extract by using reagents. Bacterial genera were isolated from the surfaces of the teeth and cultured on the growth media, and it was diagnosed by the Vitek Compact 2 System Diagnosis. The activity test involved the impact of the alcohol extract for leaves and roots to the inhibition of bacterial growth by the agar well diffusion method on Muller - Hinton.The design of the experiment was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) in a factorial arrangement (18×3) with three replications per each treatment. Revised Least Significant Difference (RLSD) was used to compare treatment means at probability 0.01 level when treatment effect was significant.Results of laboratory experiment were as follow : 1 - Increasing extracts concentration caused a significant increase in growth inhibition of the studied bacterial genera.2 - plants extraction that of the combination of A2B3C3 included (25% water stress, 6 ml/L foliar fertilizer and 8 ml/L organic fertilizer) gave the highest activated inhibition for bacterial genera compared with plant other extraction for all tested bacterial genera.3 - The plants extracted that treated by combination A2B3C3 in concentration 150 mg/ml gave higher activated inhibition for Streptococcus pneumonia reached 25.307 ml compared with Amoxicillin that reached 36.167 ml, while the inhibited extracted root reached for the same treatment 16.060 ml (Table 37 and 38).4 - Plants leaf extract was the highest effective inhibition of bacterial compared to the roots extract.
