Abstract in English
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٪.
