  In this research, medical information from 1200 patients across various
hospitals in Iraq was collected over a period of 3 years, from February 3,
2018, to March 5, 2021. The study encompassed several infections, including
urinary tract infections, wound infections, tonsillitis, prostatitis,
endometritis, endometrial lining infections, burns infections, pneumonia, and
bloodstream infections in children. Multiple bacterial pathogens were
identified, and their resistance to various antibiotics was recorded. The data
analysis revealed significant patterns of antibiotic resistance among the
identified bacterial pathogens. Resistance was observed to several commonly
used antibiotics, highlighting the emerging challenge of antimicrobial
resistance in Iraq. These findings underscore the importance of implementing
effective antimicrobial stewardship programs and infection control measures in
healthcare settings to mitigate the spread of antibiotic-resistant infections
and ensure optimal patient outcomes. This study contributes valuable insights
into the prevalence and patterns of antibiotic resistance in microbial
infections, which can guide healthcare practitioners and policymakers in
formulating targeted interventions to combat the growing threat of
antimicrobial resistance in Iraq's healthcare landscape.
