ABSTRACT
Urinary tract infections (UTI’s) are a bacterial infection that affects any part of the urinary tract. Urinary tract infection is one of the major diseases that affect people of all age groups and sexes and can be separated into asymptomatic and symptomatic. The normal urinary tract is sterile but gets infected with the normal flora and opportunistic pathogens. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a serious health problem affecting millions of people each year. This is the second most common type of infection in the body. In the present study 20 morphologically different bacterial isolates were recovered from 50 different urine samples from UTI’s patient. The prevalence of the isolates was varied with E. coli (40%), followed by Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Klebsiella spp. each of (20%) respectively. All the isolates of different bacteria were tested for antibiotic sensitivity patterns against common antibiotics viz. Ampicillin, Tetracycline, Chloramphenicol, Vancomycin, Nitrofurontione and Ciprofloxacin with potencies of 30 μg each. The sensitive pattern of the isolates towards antibiotic Nitrofurontoine was (75%) followed by Tetracycline (55%) and Ciprofloxacin (45%). Intermediate activity was reported against Ampicillin (45%), Chloramphenicol and vancomycin (40%). Resistant pattern shown against vancomycin (60%), Chloramphenicol (45%), while both tetracycline and Ciprofloxacin shown (30%) against the UTI’s isolates. Therefore, drugs like Nitrofurontoine, Tetracycline and Ciprofloxacin are the most effective choices against the common UTI’s isolates.
