  Background: Cesarean section it regarded crucial risk factor for postpartum inflammatory because of uterine skin rapture, bladder catheterization, and endometritis. The S. haemolyticus is the second most recurrently pathogenic of clinical nosocomial infections, especially with sepsis, on skin and soft tissue infections mainly existing as abscess, paronychia, and serious infections in different the body systems. Methods: One hundred and fifty swab samples were collected from women who had caesarean sections at Al-Basrah Teaching Hospital between October 2022 to January 2023. The Vitek®2 system test revealed for identify positive bacterial growth. Then double Disk Approximation Method (DAM) was used to tested S. haemolyticus isolates for produce Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBLs). For the β-lactamase gene amplification.. Read More»
