Abstract

This study was determined to check the frequency of resistance of
enteropathogenic Escherichia coli to some disinfectants and heavy metals.
The specimens were collected from 386 infants cases suffering from diarrheal under
three years old. Rectal swabs and stool specimens were cultured. Serological investigations
were done via specific kit.
Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) were done for four types of disinfactants and
heavy metals.
EPEC were found in 79 case (20.46%) the most prevalence serotype are 0119k69 and
0111k58 with a ratio of 22.78% and 15.18% respectively, 79% of EPEC strains were sensitive
to 16 ىg/ml of chlorhexidine, while 100% of strains were resistant to providine Iodine (1024
ىg/ml). High ratio of strains were inhibited by Hg++ while 94% of strains showed high
sensitivity to Hg++ (16ىg/ml), all strains were resistant to Pb++, Zn++ and Cd++.
