Abstract:

In this paper, we described detection of some of the virulence factors in the isolates of Pantoea agglomerans, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium isolated from Tigris River. The emergence of antimicrobial resistant of bacteria has raised considerable interest in understanding the diversity and epidemiology of bacterial infections in humans. Water samples were taken at different parts of Tigris River from June 2015 to July 2015. Isolates which were diagnosed by Vitek-2 system after Culture method was the important method for diagnosis. The virulence factors of bacteria were detected and showed that all isolates produce hemolysin, protease, lipase enzymes and also detection of biofilm formation. Determination of virulence factor is important in recognition of bacterial invading tools which cause pathogenesis, which may serve as new targets in drug development.
