                                 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»
