In order to access the prevalence and sensitivity pattern of urinary pathogens, 60 midstream urine samples from students of Caritas University were investigated using cultural methods. Samples were examined microscopically and cultured in blood agar and Macckonkey agar. Disk diffusion method was used for antibiotic testing. Of the 60 urine samples 48 yielded significant growth with a prevalence rate of 80%. It was observed that females were more infected than the males with a prevalence rate of 56.70% and 43.30% respectively under the ages of 18-25yrs. Escherichia coli was the most predominant. The isolates were very sensitive to Gentamycin, Nitrofurantoin and Ofloxacin which were the (most sensitive) and the most resistant were Tetracycline, Cortrimozol, Cephalexin and Ampicillin. Therefore, Nitrofurantoin, Gentamycin, Ofloxacin were strongly recommended for the treatment of UTI as indicated in the study.

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]UTI is known to be the microbial invasion of any of the tissues of the
urinary tract reaching from the renal cortex to the urethrameatus
(Nicolle, 2000). It is also known to be the presence in two consecutive
urine samples of greater than 100rods (105 ) organisms per ml of a
single bacterial strain in the urinary tract. UTI can be categorized in
ascending or descending. Infections which are confined to the urethral
or the bladder are ascending and referred to as uretitis or cystitis ... Continue reading---
