ABSTRACT

 A clean catch mid stream urine (MSU) sample was collected from 100 patients who were attending Michael Okpara Federal University of Agriculture Umudike Health Center. The samples were examined for presence of bacteria. Bacteria isolated included Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The most frequently isolates were Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus sp. The organisms were highly sensitive to ciprofloxacin (80.3%), nitroforantoin (75.2%), augumentin (57.9%) and gentamycin (52.5%), and resistant to cotrimoxazole (86.4%) nalidixic acid (65.8%) and amoxicillin (65.7%). The most effective antibiotics against the organisms were Ciprofloxacin and nitroforantoin. Therefore the use of ciprofloxacin and nitroforantoin for the treatment of Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli infection are very promising
