Abstract

     An essential component of the human digestive system is the gallbladder. Its main purpose is to retain bile salts and acids, which act as surfactants on dietary fats and oils during the digestive process. It is situated beneath the liver. Between October 2023 and June 2024, 50 tissue samples from individuals ranging in age from 15 to 71 years old were obtained for the study at Al. Hilla Teaching Hospital. The study involved using the Vitak 2 Compact System to diagnose antibiotic sensitivity and isolating bacteria from tissue. Gram-negative bacteria were most prevalent in Escherichia coli, accounting for 30% of the total, followed by Ochrobactrum anthropi (12%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae. (10%), Enterobacter aerogenes (8%), and Enterobacter cloacae (8%). The Enterococcus faecalis constituted 16% of the Gram-positive bacteria, while Enterococcus gallinarum made up 16%. The results of the antibiotic test showed that 100% of the Gram-positive bacteria were sensitive to ampiciline and tigecycline, whereas all of the bacteria exhibited resistance to cefazolin.
