Abstract
A total number of 240 urine samples from primary school boys were collected from different primary schools within Ado- Ekiti. The urine samples were collected for isolation, cultural characteristics and biochemical identification of enteric bacteria and other UTI pathogens which may be present in the urine sample of children attending public schools in Ado- Ekiti. Insignificant growth occurred in 200 (83.33%) of the isolate, 33 (13. 75%) of the samples did not have any growth, while 7 (2.92%) sample had significant growth. Pus cell count was carried out to determine the correlation between the pus cell count the PH of the seven samples with significant growth. The result showed that there was a direct correlation between the pus cell count and the pH of samples with significant growth, showing that 50% of children with significant bacteriuria had significant pus cell count, with alkaline pH in their urine.
