Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infections that result in discomfort, fever, pain, and infections outside the intestines in people of all age groups. Annually, an estimated 150 million individuals worldwide experience the distressing condition of UTI. Approximately 10% of the global human population experiences a UTI at some point in their lifetime.

Methods: In this study, we analyzed the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the commonly isolated Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria from urine specimens examined at Imam Hussein Hospital and from a group of students at the College of Pharmacy at Al-Safwa University College in the holy city of Karbala, Iraq. After collecting urine samples, they were cultured in the culture media, and Gram stain was used to study the phenotypic characteristics of isolated bacteria. The types of bacteria causing urinary tract infections were diagnosed. After the diagnosis, antibiotic sensitivity discs were used.

Results: In this study, it was found that women have more urinary tract infections than men, and it was found that (Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter) bacteria are the most common types of UTI; all types of bacteria discovered in this study are sensitive to the Amikacin antibiotic, on the other hand, all types of bacteria discovered in this study are resistant to the Ciprofloxacin antibiotic.
