Abstract

The crucial  item of this study is to isolate and identify the most dangerous pathogenic bacteria associated with various hospital patients. Shape, border, elevation, texture, and colour of bacterial colonies were necessiated for morphological characterization of the isolates. In the year 2022, researchers at Mansoura University Hospital gathered 120 samples from patients. Patients of varying sexes and ages(15-65 years) provided blood (40), urine (35), and faeces (45) for analysis -). The current findings showed that following incubation, 95 samples exhibited bacterial growth, whereas 25 samples did not. Except for strain 5, all of the colonies had a circular form. All colonies had an entire margin, raised elevation, creamy texture; and a color range from off white, pale yellow, and yellowish white, and all featured complete margins, elevated elevations, creamy textures, and unique colouring. In terms of cell shape, most isolates were found to be rods, while strains 7 and 8 were found to be a cocci shape; in terms of Gram strain, 3 strains were found to be Gram negative, while others strains were Gram positive; and in terms of motility, all strains were found to be motile , except for strains 3, 7, and 8.
