| Abstract | ||
| Three bacterial species of Proteus bacteria have been isolated from various age groups (males and females) suffering from urinary tract infection. Subsequently, the isolates were diagnosed through observation of three morphological, cultural and biochemical features. Twenty isolates out of 80 patients have been diagnosed. The study revealed that the highest infection was caused by Pr. mirabilis which was 70%, while infection with Pr. vulgaris was only 20%. These two kinds of bacteria are widely spread specially in urinary tract infections which have rather become complex due to abnormal function and composition and patiens who received catheterization. As for species Pr. penneri it came up to from 10%. This species is rather limited in the number of isolation and only appears in certain pathological cases. The response of antibiotic sensitivity tests has shown that the isolates were sensitive to Tobramycin, Ciprofloxacin and resistance to Ampicillin, Trimethoprim. | ||
