Thesis

   Four samples were taken from the leaves and the flowers of jojoba plant. Extraction solution were prepared from leaves and flowers of the two plant sexes, Total protein was studied using Bradford procedure during three weeks (the last two weeks of July and the first week of August 2004) for the two sexes and conventional differences were recorded between them, also the Isozymes variation was studied between the sexes for the following enzymatic systems:-

1- Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD).

       This work was aimed to study the effect of some probiotic microorganisms on fungi causing diarrhea. Therefore a total of (45) stool sample were collected from children(2 – 10)years old with diarrhea. Results observed that 15(33.3%) isolates belong to genus Candida, and 4(8.8%) of isolates belong to Candida albicans according to the related biochemical tests.

200 urine samples were collected from patients expected to have urinary tract infection, 123 samples gave positive bacterial growth in culture. From positive cultures, (41) bacterial samples were identified as E.coli (33.3%).

        A total of 37 samples were collected from different clinical cases (ear, blood, sputum, burns, cerebrospinal fluid and cystic fibrosis samples) and environments (water and soil samples)from different locations in Baghdad governorate. The total isolates obtained from these samples were 57 isolates,13 of them were identified as Pseudomonas spp. after detecting it's ability to grow on cetrimide agar. Biochemical tests were carried out  on these 13 isolates.
