ABSTRACT

In this study a total number of 70 samples were collected from different individuals while 34(48.5%) urine samples were from males, 36(51.4%) were females. 32(45.7%) were found positive for urinary tract infections. The most prevalent isolate was Escherichia coli (75%), followed by Proteus mirabilis (12.5%), and the least isolates were Klebsiella pneumoniae (6.2%) and Staphylococcus saprophyticus(6.2%). The urine samples were cultured using cysteine lactose electrolyte deficient medium (CLED), Blood agar and MacConkey agar. Biochemical tests and gram staining were done to identify the isolates. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing was carried out by disc diffusion technique using antibiotic agents such as aminoglycosides (Gentamicin and Streptomycin) and fluoroquinolones (Ofloxacin and Ciprofloxacin) repectively, to determine the invitro sensitivity pattern of the isolates. The results obtained shows that among the isolates tested, maximum susceptibility was found for fluoroquinolone agents than those of aminoglycosides.
