onsillitis is a common bacterial disease caused by (β-haemolytic streptococci
group-A), spread inmost part of theworld causes inflammation of tonsilswhile
it could also be caused by Adeno and Epstein-Barr viruses. The objective was to
determine the bacterial aetiology of Tonsillitis and their susceptibility to antibiotics
amongst the university students within Kerkuk province. Only 148 throat swabs
were collected from student and assessed in laboratory. The bacterial causes
involved β-haemolytic streptococci group-A (29.7%),
Staphylococcus aureus
(17.6%)
Pseudomonas aeroginosa
(10.8%), Klebsiella spp. (5.4%) and
E. coli
(1.4%)
respectively. The infection prevalencewas 23.6%and 8.8% in rural and urban areas,
respectively. Antimicrobial sensitivity assessment showed that all the bacterial
isolates were 100% sensitive towards Ceftazidime and relatively high resistant
to Ampicillin but varied in their sensitivity to other antibiotics. Both β-haemolytic
streptococci group-A and
Staphylococcus aureus
showed high sensitivity for
Cefotaxime) 91% and 92 %), respectively. The
Pseudomonas aeroginosa
gave
showed (87.5%) sensitivity to Ciprofloxacin while Klebsiella spp (75%) while the
E. coli
showed multi resistance to many antibiotics. It is concluded that Bacteria
causing tonsillitis are of various species which their resistance to antibiotics vary
enormously. Such variation endure the general practitioners to have cultural Tests
carried out prior prescribing an effective and righteous antibiotic for patients.
