A STUDY ON ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF CLOSTRIDIUM SPECIES FROM IRAQI SOIL SAMPLES Authors: Saif Ali Mohammed Hussein , LUBNA KAMIL ABDUL HUSSEIN1 AND ALI HUSSEIN ALWAN 3
ABSTRACT
One thirty eight soil samples from ten locations in Iraq were collected in
November/December 2017 and inspected for presence of the variety Clostridium species.
Direct Immune-fluorescent measure (IFA) examination demonstrated that five Clostridium
species were distinguished in the dirt of particular locations in Iraq. A sum of 26 identified
samples of five diverse toxigenic Clostridia species was segregated. From the results, soil
sample from S1, S4, S7 and S8 have relatively the most elevated aggregate Clostridium
perfringens counts compared with the other five areas. These investigations add to the
comprehension of pervasiveness of toxigenic Clostridia species and phylogeny inside the
species and aid advancement of enhanced diagnostics and therapeutics for the treatment of
Clostridia diseases. A part of the tainting could be ascribed to extra cellular and in partly
decayed cells.
