| Abstract | ||
| Diabetes Mellitus (DM) was a risk factor for urinary tract infection (UTI), so to study if DM have any effect on percentage of infection , type of isolated bacteria and their pattern of antibiotic susceptibility , a total of 200 urine samples were collected from diabetic (100) women and non-diabetic (100) women attending Al-Kadhymia teaching hospital (hospitalized and non- hospitalized). Urine samples were cultured and the results revealed that Escherichia coli was the most predominant bacteria associated with UTI, and there was no significant differences for percentages and isolated bacterial species from the two studied groups. The antibiotic susceptibility for the four predominant species of bacteria (E.coli ,Enterobacter aerogenes ,Pseudomonas aerugenosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae) revealed high resistance to ampicillin, trimethoprim and susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin. So ciprofloxacin which may be the drug of choice for the treatment of UTI in both groups . DM had no effect on the type of bacteria isolated or their pattern of antibiotic susceptibility. | ||
