Abstract
Introduction:
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of the urinary system kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra. Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than are men. However, serious consequences can occur if a UTI spreads to kidneys may result in pyelonephritis. Urinary tract infections typically occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and begin to multiply in the bladder.The most common UTIs pathogens is Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, and proteus mirabillis
Methods: 3000 urine isolates were randomly collected from patients at private Hospital, Sudan, during 2016- 2018.The collected isolates were identified at the Microbiology Laboratory by the conventional methods. Antibiotics sensitivity test was carried by Kirby Bauer methods. The following Antibiotics were used for the sensitivity of urine isolates; Ampicillin, Amakacin, Cefazolin, Cefuroxime, Ceftrazone, Cefepime, Ciprofloxacin, Colostin, Gentamicin, and Meropene.
Results: The following organisms were identified from the urine isolates; Escherichia coli, Enterobacter arogenes, Citrobacter koseri, Klebsiella pneumonia, proteus mirabillis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Sensitivity of the isolated organisms exhibited resistance to the most tested antibiotics.
Conclusion: Urinary tract infection caused by many organisms that exhibited resistance to the tested antibiotics which may lead to ascending infection resulted in recurrent infection and can lead to pyelonephritis. Recurrent UTI need more investigations to avoid pyelonephritis.
