Abstract

In this study, two hundred clinical samples have been chosen to isolate Acinetobacter baumanni from patients whose suffering from different infections, which included swabs from sputum, urine, wounds and burns. VITEK 2 COMPACT system has been used to diagnose percentage of bacteria in the samples and the highest rate was wounds infection, urinary tract infection and burns infection and the percentage 20%, 10% and 6.6% respectively. Moreover Several conditions which could have effect on A. baumannii growth have been studied which included size of the vaccine, temperature, pH and incubation time. given the IAN5 isolation best growth after studying affecting the growth and the following conditions where the best size for inoculum 4 ml / L and 40 ° C for temperature , and 7.5 for pH and 48 hours for the incubation time .
