The Department of life sciences at the Faculty of science at the University of Mosul discussed the master's thesis tagged ” the spread of virulence genes among the main pathogenic germs associated with infection of artificial ventilation devices“, submitted by researcher Naba Mohammed Iqbal Tahsin, on Thursday, August 20, 2026. The study aimed at isolating and diagnosing infection-causing bacteria associated with mechanical ventilation from samples taken from endotracheal intubation tubes of patients placed on artificial respiration devices, using transplant examinations and molecular diagnostics based on amplification and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, as well as studying their sensitivity to antibiotics, [Read More]
