Abstract<br /> This study was carried out in the (private clinic of nurses) in all places in Erbil city. The swabs were taken from ground of the rooms, recycle bins and air. Twenty four isolates were obtained according to cultural, morphological, biochemical tests and other tests including motility, oxidase, catalase, coagulase, urease, and gelatin hydrolysis.<br /> Also the antibiotic sensitivity test was carried out and the results were as follow:<br /> 1) Different places (ground of the rooms, air and recycle bins) for these (private clinic of nurses) were polluted by five genus of pathogenic bacteria.<br /> 2) The identified bacteria was gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus 12.5% and gram-negative bacteria were Escherichia coli 33.3%, Klebsiela spp 25%, Pseudomonase spp 20.8% and proteus spp 8.3%.<br /> 3) Staphylococcus aureus was resist to Gentamycin, Penicillin Tetracycline, Ampicilline and Nalidix acid with the range of 33.3%, 100%, 33.3%, 66.6%, and 33.3% respectively and was 100% sensitive to Lincomycine, cephalothin, trimethprine and chloramphenicol. The range of resistance to antibiotics Gentamycin, Penicilline, Tetracycline, Lincomycine, Ampicilline, Nalidix acid, Cephalothine, Trimethprine and Chloramphenicol for Klebsiela spp reached 33.3%, 100%, 66.6%, 83.3%, 83.3%, 16.6%, 16.6%, 100%, and 66.6% respectively.<br /> For Escherichia coli reached to 12.5%, 100%, 37.5%, 12.5%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 50% and 75% respectively. The Pseudomonas spp were resistance to Gentamycin, Penicilline, Tetracycline, Lincomycine and Ampicilline with the range of 20%, 20%, 20%, 80% and 40% respectively, while Proteus spp appeared resistance 100% to Gentamycin, Penicilline, Tetracycline, Lincomycine, Ampicilline, Cephalothin and Trimethprime, and 50% to Chloramphenicol, while it was 100% sensitive to Nalidix acid with.
