Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections encountered by clinicians in developing countries associated with considerable morbidity and health care cost. This study was performed to know the microbiological profile and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern of organisms isolated from urine. Urine samples were streaked on Mac conkey and blood agar by Modified Mayo’s technique and incubated at 370C. Gram negative bacilli were the predominant isolates(75.9%), Gram positive cocci and Candida constituted 20.6% and 8% respectively. E.coli was the major pathogen isolated from urine cultures constituting 57% of the total uropathogens. Highest sensitivity was noted to imipenem, Pipericillin/tazobactam, amikacin and nitrofurantoin. E.coli was the predominant bacteria isolated. High amount of antibiotic resistance was noted to commonly used antibiotics. Key Words: UTI, antimicrobial susceptibility, E.coli,
