The Most Common Aerobic Bacteria Species Isolated from Some Asthmatic Inhabitants of Thi-Qar Province / Iraq
Keywords:
Asthma, S. aureus, S. pneumonia, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumonia, Bacterial InfectionAbstract
Background: Asthma is a common and chronic respiratory disease that affects over 300 millionpeople worldwide and causes significant sickness and mortality.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of most common Aerobic bacteria
among asthma patients and its relation to demographic data in Iraqi population
Materials and Methods: 130 people participated in the current study, which was carried out
at the Al-Nasiriya Teaching Hospital from October 2023 to June 2024. Of them, 100 patients had
asthma, 70 had bacterial infections, 30 did not, and 30 served as a control group. The ages span
from 3 to 80. The conventional methods that rely on culture to identify common pathogenic
bacterial species
Result: This study was involved 70 patients with asthma for identification of common bacteria
and showed that the most common isolated bacteria was S. aureus 24 (34.29%, then S. pneumonia
20 (28.57%), then P. aeruginosa 14(20.00%), while the lowest isolated bacteria was K. pneumonia
12 (17.14%), the present study also recorded a non-significant decrease in the frequency of bacteria
in asthmatic patients.
