, Siham Agmee Wadee2 and Waseem Ali Hasan2 The bacteria have been noted as the main cause of late wound healing. The greatest common pathogen causing the wound contaminations is Staphylococcus aureus. The current study was carried out to isolate and diagnose the staphylococcus aureus which causes of open wound inflammation after surgery in mice process and to study the effect of nickle nanoparticles solution on bacterial isolated and evaluating the molecular and pathological techniques. The study included the collection of 60 cotton swabs from the Office of the Consultant of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine – Tikrit University and from the external veterinary clinics (from November 2018 to March 2019) from the areas of contaminated wounds or inflamed after surgery. The results of the laboratory cultural of 60 cotton swabs used showed to isolated 50(83.3%) Staphylococcus aureus isolated. And all bacterial isolates were resistant to Doxycycline hydrochloride, Penicillin, CO-Trimoxazole, Ciprofloxacin, Cephalosporin and Penicillin. The study showed that the NFNPS used to inhibit the growth of bacterial isolated by using different concentrations the MBC killer concentration was 256μg / L and the lowest inhibitory concentration to Staphylococcus aureus was MIC 64 microgram / L). Molecular studies included the observation of the most important molecular changes at the level of DNA prior to and treatment with nanoparticles. Many variations were observed on the studied bacterial isolated Including the appearance and disappearance of DNA and its different numbers when treated with nanoparticles.As for the results of the histopathological, it was found that the injury of mice with Staphylococcus aureus antibiotic resistance emerged after about five days and the symptoms were heat, redness and swelling of the skin and the release of yellow and green purulent secretions from the place of injury. When treated mice infected with nanoparticles and antibiotics together the time of the healing was faster than the time of the healing of nanoparticles treated only.

Wound infection is a frequent problematic. Due to entrance of the bacteria through open skin. These bacteria delay healing and yield symbol and symptoms1.
Wound infection in care for increasing the treatment cost, length of hospital delay and significant morbidity and mortality. Despite the practical advance in infection control and surgical practice, Site surface infection (SSI ) still continue to be a major problematic, even in hospitals with most recent facilities2. These infection are usually cause by exogenous and/or endogenous bacteria that arrive the working wound either through the surgery (primary infection) or after the surgery (secondary infection). Primary infection are usually more serious, appear within five to seven days of surgery3. Common of SSIs are uncomplicated connecting only skin and subcutaneous tissue but occasionally can expansion to necrotizing infection. The common demonstration of infected surgical wound can be describe by hurt, tenderness, warmth, erythema, enlargement and pus configuration4,5.
Despite efforts to establish infection and well understanding of sepsis, wound contamination is immobile a clinical problematic and some infection in clean injuries still remain unexplained6. In many SSIs, The bacteria in charge for producing SSI are Staph aureus; Staphy epidermidis; Gram negative bacilli; Streptococcus spp; Enterococci; and Cl. perfringens. More than 50% of SSI is cause by S. aureus because it is highly dangerous. Staphylococcus epidermidis is fewer virulent and usually causes SSI only in patients who are previously immune compromised7.
Several organisms can cause wound infectivity. For the treatment of contamination a great number of antibiotics are used. Both extensive spectrum and thin spectrum antibiotics are current nowadays. It is perfect to give appropriate antibiotic after culture and sensitivity of the wound swab, pus or contaminated skin. unluckily this practice is unusual between the physicians especially of the developing countries. Improper and irrational use of antibiotics and genetic and non-genetic drug resistant machine of bacteria lead to drug resistance8.
Nano-sized particle to win this battle and to overcome this frightening condition of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, the search and detection of alternative means against these microbes is only way forward to survive. Metals based nanoparticles and analysis of their antimicrobial activity could be one of such alternative. Many studies are being done to prove the structural and chemical effect of various metals Nano-complexes to determine an alternation of the drugs which used against bacteria9. Nickel is also among those material which can be used for antimicrobial activity so the synthesis, categorization and antimicrobial presentation of Nickel based nanoparticles of large importance. Owing to high surface region to size ratio and quantum confinement effect are consider promising candidates for Nano devices of fresh

A loop full of colony from the growing of isolate was transmission to the nutrient broth in tubes and incubated at 37°C for 5 h. Mueller-Hinton agar which was used as plating medium was inoculated with broth (bacterial suspension) by using cotton swab. Then antibiotic impregnate paper disc were apply and broke onto the plate with forceps. Plates were incubated at 37°C for 18 h. The diameters of zones of growth inhibition were measured in millimeter and interpret as sensitive, middle and resistant to different antibiotics17.
Preparation of the concentrations of the nanoparticle solution
The least bactericidal concentration (MBC) is the lowest concentration of nanoparticle solution an required to kill a exacting bacterium. It can be determined from broth dilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests by sub culturing to agar plates that do not have the test agent. The MBC is familiar by determining the lowest concentration of antibacterial agent that decrease the chance of the initial bacterial inoculums by ≥99.9%18.

Fig. 3. Genomic DNA Staphylococcus aureus on agarose gel 1%.
Results of RAPD-PCR interactions
The results showed the Differences in DNA were recorded between samples studied through
- The presence of DNA bunds and multiplying their absence.
- Difference in molecular weights between bands.
- Difference in number of bands.
- The differences in the intensity of bands shine on.
These results were obtained after several experiments to reach optimal interaction conditions, where the reaction components were controlled (dNTPS, Taq DNA polymerase, MgCl2, DNA concentration as well as the concentration of the same primers, the suitability of the program on the thermo cycler and the pipette resolution used), This led to get products doubled Clear and repeatable, As the RAPD Markers are sensitive to any change in the components of their reactions And the conditions surrounding the reaction where it is one of the reactions that are characterized by the difficulty of replay and get the same result. Therefore, RAPD interactions for each user’s primers were repeated once as in the Fig. 4.
Fig. 4. DNA bands for Staphylococcus aureus before and after treatment with nanoparticles and antibiotics
There are many variations in the different primers, the nanoparticles have a clear effect on the bacteria. Some of them have caused full mutagen of the gene, some of which have the most recent mutations in the appearance and disappearance of certain bands and differences in bands locations, note in the first, second and third pimers of the Staphylococcus aureus difference in the size and location of the beams Nanoparticles also have the effect of increasing the efficiency of antimicrobial agents by completely hiding the gene or causing mutations this variation in initiator link sites with DNA and the distance between these sites may be created due to mutations that have been cases of deletion, substitution and addition leading to a change in the order of rules complementary to the initiator sequence.
Results of the Experiment mice treatment with nanoparticles and antibiotics
The results of the experiment infection of the mice with Staphylococcus aureus showed symptoms of inflammation after approximately five days. The symptoms were high fever, redness, painful, swollen, and yellow or green ulcerative ulcers around the surgical site as shown in the Fig. 5.

Surgical wound pollutants are likely to create from three main sources: (a) the environment (exogenous bacteria in the air or those introduced by traumatic damage), (b) the surrounding skin (involving members of the normal skin microflora such as S. epidermidis, micrococci, skin diphtheroids and propionibacteria) and (c) endogenous sources connecting mucous membranes (primarily the gastrointestinal, oropharyngeal and genitourinary mucosae) and distant contagious source (subcutaneous abscesses) Endogenous contamination occurs by two routes: by direct establishment from a dirty focus or by metastatic spread from distant foci by either hematogenous or lymphatic routes. The first wound is dirty at the time of cut; the second develops so dirty, over a period of time. In both cases the surgeon is anxious with prevention of infection in wounds adjudged to be clean at the time of closure22.
The results of this study showed 50(83.3%)strain belong Staphylococcus aureus isolated from 60samples taken from Surgical wound contamination. The results of our study agreed with23. Out of the 57 isolated from wound contamination after Surgical process, 20 were Gram positive, 29 Gram-negative and 8 anaerobes. Amongst Gram-positive isolated, Staph aureus isolates shown the highest prevalence (28.1%). Each of B-haemolytic streptococci and actinomycetes had an occurrence of 3.5%. Gram negative isolated from the Enterobacteriaceae family were 26.3%, 12 of them belonging to E. coli, and one to each Kle. pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Citrobacter species. In adding, Pasteurella multocida was found in 12 (21.0%) isolates and Pseud aeruginosa in 3.5% of samples. Obligate anaerobic pathogenic microflora was only represented by the species Prevotella melaninogenica. on other study finding In total, 157 of 203 cases of Surgical site contagions submitted during the study period met the set presence criteria. The remaining 46 samples produced either no growth or only insignificant non-specific growing. In 37 (23%) of the positive cultures two pathogens were detected, leaving in total 194 pathogenic isolates from the 157 dogs included in the study. Eight different bacterial species were identified in the 194 samples. Staphy pseudintermedius was the most prevalent finding (46%, n = 90), followed by B-haemolytic Strep. spp. (24%, n = 47), E. coli (11%, n = 21) and S.aureus (8%, n = 15). The remaining pathogenic isolates were Staphylococcus schleiferi coagulans (4%, n = 7), Pasteurella multocida (3%, n = 6), P. mirabilis (2%, n = 4) and P. aeruginosa(2%, n = 4). endogenous flora is the main source of bacteria contaminating surgical injuries24. The endogenous skin flora is also recognized as an important cause of SSI in dogs, as aseptic grounding of the skin cannot totally eradicate skin-associated microbes, especially not bacteria residing in the deeper parts of the skin such as the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Both superficial and deeper contamination can be the result, as the bacteria can enter deeper tissues during the initial cut25. All the bacteria cultured in the education, including those less commonly linked with skin disease and skin carriage than staphylococci, might be endogenous flora recently transferred to the skin at the incision site through the dogs grooming behaviour, or through pollution of affected tissues during operation26.
In this study, all isolated of S. aureus showed multi-drug resistant to the commonly arranged antibiotics such as, Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole, Tetracycline, pencillin, Ciprofloxacin and cephalosporin. leading to treatment failure, economic losses, but also be a source of resistant bacteria/genes (including zoonotic bacteria) that may characterize a risk to human health27.
Despite cumulative advances in medical science and the extension of treatment techniques, infectious diseases are still considered as major cause of worldwide deaths28. Pathogenic microbes have different ways to deal with antimicrobial agents such as antibiotics and indiscriminate uses of these compounds have led to the development of drug resistance. Drug- resistant bacteria, is easily crossed antibiotic treatment and create many clinical problems. Even drug sensitive bacteria that are able to form biofilms, when located in this structure will respond differently to antibiotics29.
The results of the current study showed the result of nanoparticles and their capacity to inhibit the growth and killing of antibiotic-resistant bacterial isolated. The results of our study decided with30, Ni nanoparticles in particular have confirmed broad-spectrum antibacterial goods against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. e.g Staph. aureus, proteus mirabilis E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.The antimicrobial machinery of action of NPs is generally described as adhering to one of three models: oxidative stress initiation, metal ion release, or non-oxidative mechanisms. These three types of machines can occur simultaneously. Certain studies have proposed that NiNPs prompt neutralization of the surface electric charge of the bacterial membrane and alteration its penetrability, ultimately leading to bacterial death. Moreover, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) prevents the antioxidant protection system and causes mechanical injury to the cell membrane. According to existing research, the major events underlying the antibacterial effects of NPs are as follows: 1) trouble of the bacterial cell membrane; 2) generation of ROS; 3) diffusion of the bacterial cell membrane; and 4) introduction of intracellular antibacterial effects, including interactions with DNA and proteins .5) the capacity of nickel ferrites to induce gaps and pits which causes the membrane of the bacterium cells to piece.
The method results High resistance degree of antibiotics by Gram-negative bacilli and Gram positive cocci isolated may be due to extensive drug-resistant bacteria or self-medication31. Studied the antibacterial activity of Ni nanoparticles in mixture with different antibiotics “tetracycline and ciprofloxacin erythromycin and chloramphenicol. Against Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria “Strepto pneumoniae Staphyl. aureus, Shig. flexneri and Pseudomonas aeruginosa” with inhibition of bacterial biofilm action about 65%.
A current study by32, they found synergistic antimicrobial influence of NINPs in mixture with streptomycin and kanamycin, oxytetracycline against Staph .aureus, Escherichia coli Pseudomonas aeruginosa with 80–90 % inhibition of bacterial biofilm creation. In this study, NiNPs showed remarkable antibacterial action against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative and Gram positive bacilli isolated from surgery wound infections, these results are consistent with numerous of studies have documented antibacterial actions of NiNPs against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens with close outcomes of MIC values33.
The synergistic anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm action between NiNPs and designated antibiotics might be ascribed to different machineries of action of antibiotics and NiNPs effect molecular targets different from selected drugs which including “ i) NiNPs enter bacterial cell, denature ribosomes and overpower the expression of enzymes and proteins essential for ATP manufacture, thus leading to cell disruption. ii) NiNPs has also the ability to avoid DNA relaxing by binding to them, hence inhibiting the repetition of bacteria. iii) Targeting the bacterial membrane also leads to dissipation of proton motive force34.
