Bacterial pathogens associated with urinary tract infection were
studied. The study examined 120 urine samples taken from the middle
of the urinary flow of patients with symptoms of urinary tract infection.
Fifty-one female and thirty-three male patients who suffered from UTI and
attended Al-Thawra General Hospital at Ibb City in Yemen, were examined
for the effects of different antibiotics on E. coli isolated from the mid-stream
urine samples.
The
results showed a variable degree of resistance revealed by E. coli
isolates. It ranged between ١٠٠٪ ((against Penicillin G and Ampicillin) and zero
resistance ((against Kanamycin, Ciprofloxacin, and Gentamicin). Other tested
antibiotics showed resistance ranging between ٤٠ and ٣,٣٤٪.
