ISOLATION AND SEROTYPING OF SALMONELLA SPECIES IN DIARRHEAL CHILDREN
Abstract
This study was carried out to isolate Salmonella species from children, 170 fecal samples were collected from children aged (5-12) years of both sexes that had suffering from diarrhea in Teaching laboratories of Al- Hussein Hospital in Thi-Qar governorate. Nineteen isolates were diagnosed as genus Salmonella and ensured by National center of Salmonella in Baghdad, five Salmonella serotypes were determined as (Salmonella typhimurium (8) (42.1%), S.braenderup (6) (31.58%), S.hadar (3) (15.78%), S.eneritidis (1) (5.27%), and S. munchen (1) (5.27%). The results revealed that the rate of Salmonella isolates in fecal samples of children was (11.17%). According to gender of children the rate of Salmonella isolates was (68.42%) in males and (31.58%) in females. In respect to the rate of Salmonella isolation in different age of children; age (5-8) years showed the highest rate respectively. This article is a part of master thesisReferences
