Occurrence Of Escherichia Coli And Staphylococcus In Urine Specimen Of Outpatient And Their Antibiotics Susceptibility Profile
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
