Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common complications in diabetic patients due to immune dysfunction, glycosuria, and bladder abnormalities favoring microbial growth.Antimicrobial resistance further complicates empirical therapeutic choices, highlighting the need for updated regional data to guide appropriate management. This prospective study aimed to determine the prevalence of UTIs in diabetic patients in Marrakech, identify the main causative pathogens and evaluate their antimicrobial resistance profiles. A total of 325 diabetic patients older than 15 years underwent urine culture between January and June 2024 in private medical laboratories.Sociodemographic and clinical data were recorded using standardized forms. Urine analysis included semi-quantitative culture, biochemical identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
