This study intends to examine antimicrobial resistance patterns especially in vaginal swab samples and urine from patients at Al-Sader Hospital as hospitalized patients by standard microbiological technique from April to June of 2023, in order to address the major worldwide threat posed by antimicrobial resistance to the treatment of bacterial infections, particularly in low- and middle-income regions like Iraq. A total number of 200, samples were collected for the detection of pathogenic bacteria; all clinical samples were collected from patient urine, urethral or cervical discharge, pus/swab from wound, ear discharge, nasal and throat swab. From all bacterial isolates 82.89% were found resist to cefixime while (3.28%) recorded intermediate and (13.81%) recorded suspectable, but (70.39%) recorded resistant against ceftriaxone of the all-bacterial isolates and both intermediate and su..
