The results showed there were contamination in 6.5% of clinical samples. The diagnosed colonies which gave pink color on the MacConkey agar , golden yellow color on the Trypton Soy agar and green color on the Birillent Enterobacter sakazakii agar and gave a probability of 99% in the vitek 2 and were identified as Cronobacter sakazakii. The identification revealed of thirteen isolates: 6(46.16%) isolated from Cerebrospinal fluid samples, 7(53.84%) isolated from blood samples and not isolated bacteria from stool and urine samples. The results of the investigation of some virulence factors showed that all bacteria isolates were able to swimming with a diameter ranging (1-9 mm) and swarming with a diameter ranging (1-40 mm) and their ability to biofilm formation by using three methods. The results show the ability of isolates to form biofilm by using Congo red media methods where it is 12 (92.30 %) out of 13 isolated bacteria belonging to C. sakazakii able to form biofilm on the Congo red media which is 3 (23.07%) were strong production biofilm , 8 (61.53%) were intermediate production biofilm and 1 (7.69% ) were weak biofilm formation , while the 1 (7.69%) unable to form biofilm.

The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of Procalcitonin (PCT) to indicate sepsis earlier than blood culture and other traditional biomarkers and then get use of this in early diagnosis of sepsis.Procalcitonin concentration was measured in 44 sera of Iraqi wounded soldiers who were admitted to GHAZI AL-HARIRI Hospital for surgery, using ELISA kit of BioRay/USA, along with blood culture and other infection biomarker like C-reactive protein, ESR, W.B.C. count. Six patients had elevated PCT and 3 of them had positive blood culture, two of these three died. PCT has good correlation with other inflammatory biomarkers. It is our recommendation to accredit PCT as a very early biomarker of sepsis in Iraqi hospitals along with blood culture but earlier than it, and to use the quick test of PCT in battlefield to determine the priority of transmission of wounded soldiers to hospitals.","PeriodicalId":13236,"journal":{"name":"Ibn Al-Haitham Journal For Pure And Applied Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"49-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78464065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
