Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is the most frequent health problem among children in developing countries. Defining the etiology of acute Diarrhea is critical to disease therapy and prevention. Some anaerobic bacteria such as Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) strains cause Diarrheal disease by production of enterotoxin in children less than 5 years old. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of ETBF among common bacteria and viruses causing Diarrhea in children aged less than five years. Materials and Methods: One hundred Diarrheal stools were cultured for detection of aerobic and anaerobic pathogen bacteria by direct plating on selective media and antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed according to clinical and laboratory standards institute (CLSI) guidelines on isolates of ETBF. The enterotoxigenic gene among B. fragilis isolates was also investigated using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Detection of viral pathogens was carried out using the latex agglutination test. Results: Ten B. fragilis were isolated from 100 Diarrheal fecal specimens. All isolates were susceptible to metronidazole, while 10% were susceptible to clindamycin. Four (40%) ETBF were isolated. Rotaviruses (57. 2%) and Adenoviruses (18. 6%) were the most frequently detected etiological agents. Conclusions: ETBF is one of the etiological agents that may cause Diarrhea in children but it is not the commonest of them. Metronidazole is still an effective antibiotic against B. fragilis. Viruses are the most important etiological agents of Diarrhea in children less than 5 years of age.
