Abstract
Urinary tract infection (UTI) pathogens growing resistance to widely used antibacterial drugs presents serious concerns upon an international scale. Investigating the susceptibility to antibiotics characteristics of pathogenic microbes collected from infections of the bladder was the aim of this investigation. between the June and August of 2025, an additional 65 samples of urine were taken from individuals at Al-Hindiya Teaching Hospital in the Karbala Province region. The findings indicated that P. aeruginosa , S. agalactiae, E. coli, and Enterobacter spp. were indicative of a potential link to nosocomial infections. Conversely, Klebsiella species were found alone less frequently. Overall, the results show a wide range from , alongside E. coli clearly predominating. The ability to respond of the collected organisms to the tested antibiotics varied, alongside noteworthy In general , the results show a wide range of urinary tract pathogens . In order for successfully handling infections of the urinary tract, it is crucial for choosing the right medications and conduct continual monitoring. The identified organisms showed varying susceptibility toward the investigated antibiotics, with substantial resistance observed to frequently prescribed medications.
