Short Biography

The provided research paper was co-authored by three researchers from the Department of Biology, College of Sciences at the University of Kirkuk, Iraq: Ali Mohamed Najati Raoof, Reham Layth Sami, and Usama Emad Al Hadeedy.

​Ali Mohamed Najati Raoof,  Iraqi microbiologists and researcher affiliated with the Department of Biology within the College of Sciences at the University of Kirkuk. Based in Kirkuk, Iraq, their collective work focuses significantly on clinical microbiology, epidemiology, and molecular diagnostics of opportunistic pathogens.
​In 2025, the research team conducted a pivotal hospital-based surveillance study examining Burkholderia cepacia infections among urinary tract infection (UTI) patients in the Azadi and Kirkuk Teaching Hospitals. Their collaborative efforts utilize advanced molecular and phenotypic methodologies—including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays and VITEK 2 systems—to detect vital genetic markers like the recA gene. Through their research, they actively contribute to the scientific understanding of bacterial virulence factors, public health epidemiology, biofilm production dynamics, and multidrug resistance profiles in healthcare environments.
