Abstract
The study included isolation and identification of the causative micro-organisms of cervicitis, vaginitis. A total of (202) samples (wet vaginal swabs, high cervical dried swabs) were collected from women aged between (16-<45) years suffering from vaginitis or Bacterial Vaginosis and having clinical symptoms and were diagnosed by the consultants of the general hospital in Mosul during the period September 2003 - May 2004. The percentage of the presence of pus, red blood, epithelial, clue cells, Candida albicans and Trichomonas vaginalis were determined and was considered as the primary indicator for cervicitis and vaginitis. The results also showed that Bacterial Vaginitis and Yeast Vaginitis were predominates of the population examined especially for the age group (16-40) years old suffering from abdominal pain and increased vaginal discharges. The results showed that Candida albicans was dominant then Escherichia coli, Staph. aureus, Klebsiella pneumoinae, G. vaginalis, Strept. spp., Oligella spp. Isolated for the first time in Iraq. Mobiluncus spp., Streptococcus faecalis, Staph. epiderimdies, Staph. saprophyticus, Proteus mirabilis, Actinomyces, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteriod fragils, Sarcina lutea, Enterobacter, Alcalgenous spp. and Neisseria gonorrhoea. Antibiotic sensitivity of isolated microorganism were tested and the results indicated that Ciprofloxacin as the most effective while Ampicillin had no effect.
