Urinary tract infection is an infection that affects part of the urinary tract. When it affects lower urinary tract it is known as cystitis, when it affects upper urinary tract it is known as pyelonephritis. Urinary tract infections occur more commonly in women than men. The objectives of this study is to analyse the urine samples from patients who complained of signs and symptoms of UTI. The Culture reports were analysed. Urine culture sensitivity reports were analysed for a period of one year from January 2016 to December 2016 and found that out of 248 samples, 186 samples (i.e, 75%) had a report of no bacterial growth. In these patients there was indiscriminate use of several courses of antibiotics. The remaining samples showed Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species and Proteus species. The process of antibiotic resistance is increased when the antibiotics are underused, overused or misused. Before starting treatment for UTI, urine should be sent for culture & sensitivity and the correct antibiotic therapy should be administered.
