Uropathogenic or Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) and incisional surgical site infection
(incisional SSI) are a worsening trouble among patients. Objective: Investigate the etiological
bacterial agents in patients suffering from uropathogenic and incisional infection. Methods: The
study specimens included a total of 52 specimens were gathered randomly from (males and females)
patients, aged (1-80) years, in Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital in Al-Muthanna Governorate. 19 Midstream sample of urine &33 specimens were gathered aseptically from the incisional sites of patients
doubtful to infect with SSIs after Surgery when patients were observation for symptoms and signs
of SSIs during hospitalization. Urine sample and pus swabs were immediately brought to the
medical microbiology laboratory for test. Results: The isolation rate of Gram-negative bacteria of
uropathogenic isolates in this study was 11 (57.89%) greater than Gram-positive bacteria 8 (42.11%);
but there is no a statistically significant difference between them. Whereas there is a statistical
significant difference between the isolation rate of Gram-positive bacteria of incisional SSIs isolates
in this study was 23 (69.697%) and Gram-negative bacteria 10 (30.303%) at p-value less than 0.05.
Conclusions: these finding has clarified a major contribution of gram-negative bacterial isolates E.
coli was the most dominant urinary tract infection pathogen among the study's participants,
according to the study's findings. This could lead to lengthy hospital lodging, high recurrence and
high health care costs. Whereas most predominant etiological agent of incisional SSIs was gram
positive S. aureus
