Abstract
(10) isolates were collected from clinical sources in the educational laboratories of the Medical City. Their affiliation to the genus Salmonella spp. was confirmed based on morphological and biochemical tests. The results of the drug sensitivity test against 10 antibiotics indicated that (60%) of the isolates had a multi-resistance pattern, as (70%) of the isolates were resistant to ampicillin, (50%) of them were resistant to augmentin, (40%) were resistant to ceftriaxone, (20%) were resistant to cefotaxime, and (10%) were only resistant to ciprofloxacin and tetracycline, while the isolates were sensitive to piperacillin, amphinem, amikacin, and erythromycin. All isolates showed their ability to produce beta-lactamase enzymes using the standard iodine method. The ability of the isolates to produce broad-spectrum beta-lactamase enzymes was also tested using the double-disc method. The results showed that only 5 isolates were able to produce broad-spectrum beta-lactamase enzymes. The plasmid sequence of the isolates producing broad-spectrum beta-lactamase enzymes was studied, and the results of electrophoresis in agarose gel indicated that the isolates possess small plasmid packages. The results of transformation experiments showed that the small plasmids were transferred to E.coli MM294 bacteria, indicating the ability of these plasmids to be expressed phenotypically in more than one host.
