Abstract– The present study was aimed to determine the resistance framework of pathogenic bacteria against common antibiotics isolated from the urine samples of patients suffering from an infection of urinary tract. The work was initiated by using 5 urine samples collected from the Pathology Laboratory of JNU Hospital, Jaipur. From those samples, 16 isolates were differentiated based on their morphology and biochemical characteristics. After tentative identification of isolates, an antibiotic sensitivity test was performed on those isolates by using the Kirby Buaer method and susceptibility profiles were identified using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The male and female both are infected with pathogenic bacteria which cause UTI. Biochemical reactions depicted that patients infected with bacteria were Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp. and Enterococcus spp. Based on the antibiotic susceptibility test using eight different antibiotics, three different isolates were found to be resistant to these antibiotics. Trimethoprim (TR-30), Gentamycin (HLG-120), Amoxicillin (AMX-10), Penicillin G (P-1), Ceftazidime (CAZ-30), Ciprofloxacin (CIP-5) and Erythromycin (E-5) were used for this study. This study exhibited the resistance rate of isolates against antibiotics which is a concern of worry for society.
Key words: UTI (Urinary Tract Infection), Multidrug resistance, antibiotics, pathogenic bacteria.
