Abstract

 The study examined the effect of Metronidazole on Salmonella enterica and vibrio fluvialis isolates, the test was carried out by using a Metronidazole from three companies (French company, Iraqi and Egyptian), the two isolates were taken from diarrheal patients, some were resistant, others were sensitive and some areas of inhibition were shown using treatment from the three companies, the effectiveness of the treatment of the French company. This study has examined the effect of three different type of Metronidazole from three companies (France, Egypt and Iraqi) on some Enterobacteriaceae. The results indicated the dominance of Metronidazole under France companies on other companies, as it effects on Salmonella enterica and Vibrio fluvialis at two concentrations, and it had an inhibitory effect onVibrio fluvialis at concentrations (5 mg/ml), while Metronidazole under Egypt company had only a inhibitory effect on vibrio fluvialis at two concentrations (10 and 15 mg/ml) and Metronidazole under Iraqi company were effective on vibrio fluvialis at two concentrations also (10 and 15 mg/ml) .These results indicate that Metronidazole under France company is the best antibiotic to be used in case of diarrhea that caused by Vibrio fluvialis and Salmonella enterica.
