A bacterial and immunological study of some causes of urinary tract infection in pregnant women in Dhi Qar governorate–Iraq

This study was conducted in the city Dhi Qar/Nasiriyah/Al-Haboubi Hospital in February -2022. The study included 100 urine samples and blood samples from women who visited Al Haboubi Hospital. After captivating Necessary information from all hospital review prepared previously in a questionnaire sheet, women who had usage antibiotics for treatment were excluded. The samples obtained were divided into 3 groups, the first group: 50 non-pregnant women not infaction, the second group: 25 pregnant women with a urinary tract infection (UTI) and the third group: 25 pregnant women without a urinary tract infection (UTI). Microscopical Exam of Urine The method of was followed in the examination, then midstream urine samples were collected usage sterile glass bottles. Area with soap and water, without using sterilizers, with an emphasis on not touching any part of the body to prevent contamination with the natural flora on the skin. After the colonies grew on the culture media of the primary isolate, they were initially diagnosed based on the morphological and cultivar characteristics that included each of sensitivity was tested using seven types of antibiotics used to treat utis for 25 bacterial isolates of utis associated with pregnant women. Most E. Coli isolates had a high sensitivity to Amikacin (75%), while 65% of the isolates were sensitive to Norfloxacin and Gentamycin. E.coli isolates are resistant to Amoxicillin-Clavulacnic Acid by 35%. The reason may be that the increased resistance of bacterial isolates might be owing to the frequent indiscriminate usage of antibiotic, as well as to the possibility of bacteria acquiring genetic factors that transmit multiple resistance through conjugation immunology test results Total White blood cells that pregnant women who are NOT infected with UTI have the lowest number of white blood cells, and they are slightly lower numerous than women who are not infected with UTI and who are not pregnant, while the infected pregnant women occupy the highest percentage in this study. The results of immunoglobulin A (iga) showed that infected pregnant women have the highest percentage of IGA, and the average percentage is healthy women who are not infected with UTI and who are not pregnant, while NOT infected pregnant women have the lowest percentage. The results of immunoglobulin G (igg) showed that pregnant women infected with UTI have the highest percentage of IGG, while the percentage of non-pregnant women and not infected with UTI is average, while the percentage of pregnant women and not infected with UTI is the lowest. The results of Interleukin – 6 showed that women who are not infected with UTI and who are not pregnant have the highest percentage, the percentage is mediated by pregnant WITHOUT (UTI) women, and the lowest percentage is pregnant women infected with UTI. The results of Interleukin – 10 showed that women who are not infected with UTI and who are NOT pregnant have the highest percentage, and the percentage is close to pregnant women WITHOUT UTI, and the lowest percentage is pregnant women infected with UTI.
