Abstract

In this study (186) samples of bacteremia (Burns and Non burns) included (81) samples were positive and (105) samples were negative. The patients age of (1-10 )years are the more number and frequency of patients  while the patients age (41-50) years were the lowest number and frquencety of patients. The large number of bacteremia in age (1d-30d), while the less number of bacteremia in age (41-50) years. There were 24  patients with bacteremia (12)male ;(12)female which represents the large number of bacteremia according to gender and age, and the smallest number of them is (2) in age (41-50)years .Staphylococcus aureus is the largest number of identified bacteria that isolated from blood samples ,then Serrati marscens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa .The isolates in this study were studied in their ability of  Resistance (R) or Sensitive (S) or Intermediate (I) agianst Imipenem, Ceftazidime, Cefotraxone, Cefotaxime, Cifixime, Cefalothine, Gentamicine, Pipracilline, Ampicilline, Ticaracillin, Ciprofloxacine  and Amoxicilline +Clavulanic acid (AMC). The conclusion’s in presents study indicates females higher than males as well as the age (1-10)years from other ages, but Bacteremia (+) alternated in different ages.
