Isolation, Characterization And Susceptibility Pattern Of Bacteria Isolated From Urine In Females Of Reproductive Age In Umuahia Metropolis
ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to isolate, characterize and to ascertain the susceptibility pattern of bacteria from urine in female reproductive age in Umuahia metropolis. The streaking method of inoculation was used to isolate the organisms and the disc diffusion method was used for the sensitivity testing. Four bacteria genera were isolated namely: Escherichia coli (40%), Staphylococcus aureus (30%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (10%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10%). E.coli was susceptible to Ampicillin and Gentamicin (20mm respectively), Streptomycin (14mm), Amoxillin (15mm) and Ciprofloxacin (17mm) but resistance to the rest of the drug. Klebsiella pneumoniae was sensitive to only Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin (15mm and 16mm respectively). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was sensitive to Ampicillin and Gentamicin (15mm and 14 mm respectively). All the drugs tested exhibited and inhibitory effect against S. aureus. Empirical antimicrobial therapy, indepth knowledge of the etiology, predisposing factors, cultural positivity is essential to avoid negative drug and to establish the optimum prophylactic therapy.
