Abstract
Seventy-six urine specimens were collected from of patients suffering from recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Specimens were bacteriologically analyzed, fifty (65.8%) of isolated bacterial strains were belonged to E.coli. 100% of isolated uropathogenic E.coli (UPEC)strains displayed a biofilm positive phenotype under optimized condition using microtiter plate assay. 21 of E.coli strains classified as highly positive biofilm producers (42%), and 29 (58%) as weakly positive biofilm producers.
