Clinical Study of Some Bacteria and Fungi that Cause Vaginitis in Al-Khalis City

The study included collecting (105) samples from women complaining of clinical symptoms of bacterial vaginitis, distributed into 80 samples from pregnant women(25) samples from women non-pregnant women, with their ages ranged between (15–50) years during the period from 2015 to 2016. After laboratory diagnosis, the results showed that the higher number and percentage of bacterial vaginitis was among pregnant women 60(72%) when compared with non-pregnant women 9(36%). Bacteriological examinations of the isolates showed that the highest rate of infections was caused by Gardnerella vaginalis (51.5%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (22.5%), and Klebsiella (10%), while fungal infection rate with candida was (15%). The highest rate of vaginitis was among the age group (21–27) years (41.9%), followed by the age group (15–21) years (19.0%) due to sexual activity and high hormonal levels. The sensitivity test of the studied bacterial isolates was done against 8 antibiotics, and all bacterial isolates were shown to be resistant to Nalidixic acid and metronidazole, while most isolates were sensitive to Gentamycin and Cephalotoxin.
