Bacterial species causing secondary pneumonia infection in pregnant women with COVID-19

Sputum samples were taken from pregnant women infected with the COVID-19, where the study was conducted on 112 cases, and the results showed that 87 cases developed secondary bacterial infections at a rate of 78% and 25 cases were negative by 22%. The samples were cultured on solid media and incubat...

description Sputum samples were taken from pregnant women infected with the COVID-19, where the study was conducted on 112 cases, and the results showed that 87 cases developed secondary bacterial infections at a rate of 78% and 25 cases were negative by 22%. The samples were cultured on solid media and incubated at 37°C. Then the samples were diagnosed by biochemical tests and using the API system. Six species of bcteria have been isolated (S. aureus, K.pneumonia P. auroginosa, H. influenza, S. pneumonia S. pyogens) by 31, 29, 12, 10, 7, and 5 isolates, respectively, where the result showed that the most common types of pneumonia were S. aureus with a percentage of 34%, followed by K. pneumonia with a percentage of 29%. The sensitivity of the isolates to eight types of common antibiotics was tested (Erythromycin, Trimethoprim, Ampicillin, Tetracycline, Augmentin, Nitrofurantoin, Meropenem, and Amikacin), where the isolates showed a high resistance to antibiotics (Erythromycin, Trimethoprim, Ampicillin), a high sensitivity of 100% to the Nitrofurantoin, and an average sensitivity to other antibiotics
