Abstract

The urinary tract infection (UTI) is a widespread  bacterial infection known to affect the different  parts of urinary tract. The occurrence is common  in both sexes of human beings worldwide.  Despite the fact, that both the genders are  susceptible to infection, women are frequently  vulnerable due to anatomy and physiology of  urinogenital structures. The infection habitually  caused as a consequence of bacterial invasion of  the urinary tract including lower and upper  parts. It is a recurrent cause of morbidity and  mortality, and a major driver of antibiotic  resistance to antimicrobial drugs often  empirically prescribed. This study revealed  urinary tract bacterial contamination, antibiotic  susceptibility pattern of the isolates to some  commonly used antibiotics and explore the  mechanism of multidrug resistant bacteria  isolated from urinary tract of infected patients.
