| This study was to find out the bacteria involved in urinary tract infections in patients. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common acute infection which more occurs in females than males. The common bacteria were isolated i.e. Escherichia coli followed by coagulase negative staphylococci, Enterococci and Staphylococcus aureus. Amikacin, Ampicillin/Sulbactam, Sparfloxacin and Gatifloxacin showed high degree of sensitivity to common pathogens. This short communication will be useful to proper diagnosis of the causative agents involved in infections and for proper treatment and management of the infection |
