identified by biochemical tests ( catalase, oxidase, IMVIC tests, H2S production,
urease, coagulase und growth in 6.5 % NaCl) after Gram stain and motility test. The
results showed that (37) isolates were E. coli, (20) Staphylococcus aureus, (16 ) for
Klebsiella pneumonia, (7)for Proteus Sp., (5) Staphylococcus epidermidis,
