This study aims to review and identify the prevalence of bacterial coinfection in Iraqi patients as bacterial co-infection played an important role in escalating the morbidity and mortality rate during previous viral outbreaks and pandemics of COVID-19 . Materials and Methods: It was collected three hundred eighty clinical samples from covid-19 patients, in Iraqi patients from a period between November 2021 to January 2021, in the bacteriology Unit. Patients samples were included upper respiratory tract, 190 (50%) from Nasopharyngeal (NP) and 190 (50%) from and Oropharyngeal (OP) specimen included 320 (84.2%) male and 60 (15.8%) female, in addition patients samples age was ranged between 21-70 years old. Each specimen was cultured on Blood agar, MacConkey agar, Mannitol Salt Agar and Chocolate Agar plates to be isolated, then samples was identified using biochemical test. Result: According to morphological and biochemical tests among collected samples 80 (21.1%) were positive samples, while 300 (78.9%) were negative samples, positive samples included 61(76.2%) gram negative (Gr -ve) and 19 (23.8%) were gram positive (Gr +ve), positive samples were distributed as following, 50 (62.5%) samples K. pneumonia, 3 (3.8%) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 5 (6.2%) Acinetobacter baumanii, 4 (5%) Micrococcus, 12 (15%) Staphylococcus aureus, 3 (3.8%) Enterococcus cloacae and 3 (3.8%) were Aerococcus viridans. negative samples distributed into 200 (66.6%) normal flora and 100 (33.4%) were contaminated samples. According to gender patients  \nsamples included 320 (84.2%) male and 60 (15.8%) female, in addition patients samples age was ranged between 21-70 years old and mean of age was 40.9±2.0 standard deviation (SD) . In positive samples Klebsiella pneumonia represented 50 (62.5%) of 80(100%) collected samples, while other bacteria were 3 (3.75%), 5 (6.25%), 4 (5%), 12 (15%), 3 (3.75%) and 3 (3.75%) for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumanii, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus cloacae and Aerococcus viridans respectively. K. pneumoniae according to age of patients age ranged between 21-70, it was showed that 8(16%%) of patients were in age group (21-30), 9(18%%) of patients were in age group (31-40), 12(24%%) of patients were in age group (41-50), 13(26%%) of patients were in age group (51-60) and 8(16%%) of patients were in age group (61-70) . In distribution of K. pneumoniae according to gender of patients the vast majority of patients were male as male represented 39 (78%) of the patients while females were represented 11(22%) . Conclusion: current data revealed that there was high rate of bacterial coinfection in Wasit province.  \nKeywords---Covid19, bacterial coinfection, Iraq  \nIntroduction  \nRespiratory viral and bacterial infections contribute substantially to the global burden of morbidity and mortality. Such simultaneous infections with the flu virus or bacteria that cause pneumonia, tend to make the patient’s condition critical (1) . Although, critically ill patients rapidly develop acute respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis, leading to death from multiple organ failure. The main symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, fatigue, and dry cough. However, most patients have a good prognosis (2) .
