الملخص

The objective of this study was to isolate and identify the aerobic bacteriaassociated with diarrhea in children below five years of age presented atKhartoum Pediatric Hospital. Fifty stool specimens were collected(negative for protozoa and helminthes) and cultured on MacConkey’sagar, selenite-F-broth and Salmonella-Shigella agar media and incubatedaerobically for 24 h at 37°C.Bacterial growth was shown by all of the test specimens and a total of 77isolates were obtained; some specimenswere of mixed bacterial types.The pure isolates were identified according to their microscopic, culturaland biochemical characteristics to the following bacterial species:Escherichia coli(n=48, 62.3%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(n=10, 13%),Proteus mirabilis(n=6, 7.8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(n=4, 5.2%),Shigella spp. (n=4, 5.2%), Citrobacter freundii(n=3, 3.9%), Enterobacteraerogenes(n=1, 1.3%) and Serratia marcescens(n=1, 1.3%). E.coliwasthe most prevalent species, which was isolated from 96% (48/50) of thespecimens.Sorbitol MacConkey’s agar medium was used to differentiate betweenisolates of E. coliserotype O157:H7 and the other isolates of E. coli.Ten(20.8%) of the E.coliisolates were sorbitol non-fermenters and hencethey were considered as E. coliserotype O157:H7.Different patterns of distribution of bacterial types according to age havebeen observed. E. coliisolates were found mostly before two years of ageand rarely in older children. In contrast,Pseudomonas aeruginosaencountered after three years of age, while Shigella spp. was found afterone year of age, Proteus mirabilisand Klebsiella pneumoniae isolateswere distributed among all age groups
