Abstract

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a common syndrome in community especially in females.The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of most common bacteria causing UTI and antibiogram pattern. A total of 180 urine culture sensitivity reports were analyzed. The predominant growth of single bacteria was seen in 47 samples (26.11%). The most common organisms isolated were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis. More than 80% of the isolates were sensitive to Gentamicin. More than 70% of the Staphylococcus aureus and E.coli were sensitive to nitrofurantoin. Very high rate of resistance was shown by strain of Staph. aureus against oxacillin. E.coli isolated was highly sensitive to amikacin (88.46%) and gentamicin (92.31%).
