Antibacterial activity of parsley and celery aqueous extract on the isolated bacteria from children UTI in Erbil city.

This study investigates the most common urinary tract infection bacteria and their sensitivity to antibiotic and some plant extraction. The urinary tract bacteria were sampled from patients of urinary tract infection (infants and children under fifteen years old) from Erbil hospital of children from 20-11-2013 to 20-1-2014. The bacteria were isolate, cultured and identified. 120 bacteria isolate were identified as E. coli56 (46.66%), Staphylococcus aureus19 (15.8%), Staphylococcus sp. and Proteus spp.6 (5%) Klebsiella sp and Pseudomonas aeruginosa5 (4.16%) each of them. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas sp. 4(3.33%), Proteus mirabilis 3 (2.5%) Staphylococcus albus ,Morganella morganii and Micrococcus 2 ( 1.66%) each of them . Staphylococcus capitis , Staphylococcus epidermidis, Proteus vulgaris, Klesiella oxytoca, Citrobacter freundii and Pseudomonas luteola 1(0.83%).The isolates showed different degrees of sensitivity to different antibiotics. Antibacterial activity of watery celery extraction was ranged (2-20) mm and the Alcoholic celery extracted was ranged between (2-23) mm. watery parsley extraction (2-21) mm, alcoholic parsley extraction (2-22) mm.
