Identification of the Bacteria that causes Childhood Tonsillitis

Introduction: Tonsillitis is the most common infectious condition after viral nose and throat infections. Millions of new infections every year are recorded globally. Young people under age 15 disproportionately affected by acute tonsillitis. This study aimed to isolate bacteria causing tonsilitis in children. Methods: One hundred thirty swabs were taken from a variety individuals who clinically determined have tonsillitis with purulent discharges at ENT clinic Kuthospital. Isolates tested for their gram stain response biochemical features being promptly transported laboratory streaked directly on blood agar, which was incubated aerobically 24 hours 37°C. The following antibiotics all isolates using disc diffusion technique: penicillin (10 units), gentamicin mcg), vancomycin (30 erythromycin (15 ciprofloxacin cephalothin chloramphenicol mcg). classified as sensitive or resistant based widths zones inhibition. Results: Thirty-four strains Streptococci, 14 Staphylococcus epidermidis, 32 aureus, another spp., 9 Haemophilus parainfluenzae detected. current results showed that ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, vancomycin, while resistance gentamycin. Conclusion: Streptococci S. aureus be bacterial causes children vancomycin.
