Abstract

Background: Urinary tract infection is the most common infection occurs in both male and female.

Objective: This study was aimed to identify the uropathogens and their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern.

Methodology: This study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology at Dhaka National Medical College & Hospital, Dhaka from January 2018 to December 2018.

Result: A total of 1686 samples of urine were collected from suspected cases of urinary tract infections from Dhaka National Medical College & Hospital. Among them, 292 (17.32%) specimens showed significant bacterial growth. The most common uropathogens isolated were Escherichia coli.
