Abstract
In the present report, among one thousand and six hundred urine samples screened; only 65% showed bacterial infection. However, 919 samples (88.4%) were sensitive to the tested antibiotics; 121 samples (11.6%) recognized as multi-drug resistant bacteria. These bacterial isolates were identified and differentiated by cultural, morphological, and biochemical analysis. The isolates were then analyzed to determine their susceptibility profile to 30 antibiotics according to the standard CLSI guide.The results also indicated that the most of urinary tract infection diseases were by Gram negative bacteria (102 isolates; 84.3 %). Escherichia coli was the most predominant organism causing UTI in this study that represented by 58 isolates (47.9%), followed by Klebsiella pneumonia (21.5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14.9%), Staphylococcus aureus(12.4%), Enterococcus faecalis(3.3 %).In conclusion, the profiles in bacterial clinical isolates can provide important information for the control of antibiotic resistance as well as distribution and susceptibility profiles in populations.
