Description
Summary:Background:The  increasing incidence of antibiotic  resistance in  bacterial  pathogens  has justified  a  reassessment  of  the  value  of  phages  as  antibacterial  agents  for  medical applications. Objective: To assess the effect of bacteriolytic activity against P. aeruginosa by u se multi methods for isolation of bacteriophage. Patients and Methods: This study was performed from from November, 2016 till April, 2017. A total of 60 samples collected from urine, stool, diabetes leg, ear, burns and wounds infections in General Baqubah Hospital to isolate Pseudomonas aeruginosa and tested for 6 groups of antibiotics. Aerophage was isolated using three methods: spotting; double -layer agar plate and liquid broth method. After enrichment of aerophage, the bacteriolytic activity of aerophage was done by spotting method. Results: Pseudomonas aeruginosa   isolates resistance were 10(43.5%) for   Aztreonem and 8(34.8 %) to Ticarcillin-Claculanic acid followed by Imipenem 4(17.4%), Gentamicin and when the  study  done  Levofloxacin  3(13%)  for  each  finally  Cefepime2(8.7%).  high  significant differences of aztreonem   with both of  cefepim  and  gentamycin (P<0.01) while significant differences of  aztreonem with both imipenim and levofloxacillin (P<0.05%). while the results of bacteriolytic activity showed all ear and leg diabetes isolates were sensitive to aerophage (100%) followed by urine isolates(75%), stool isolates(50%) and burns isolates(25%) while all wound  isolates  were  resist  to  aerophage(100%).  The  result  of  relation  between  Antibiotic resistance phenotype profile and Aerophage sensitivity that no detect to susceptibility of isolates to aerophage but the source of isolates may be detected to infection with aerophage. Conclusion:Aztreonem  antibiotic  was  widely  used  in  Baqubah  city  recently.  All  t hree methods  to  isolate  aerophage  were  effective.  The  result  of  relation  between  Antibiotic resistance phenotype profile and Aerophage sensitivity that no detect to susceptibility of isolates to aerophage but the source of isolates may be detected to infec tion with aerophage
