A urine sample was collected for culture and crystal formation. Only 57 (95 percent) of the 60 samples on culture were isolated from urinary tract infections caused by various causes. According to the results of the isolation and laboratory diagnosis, as well as biochemical tests, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, proteus spp., Morganella morgani, and Pseudomonas aueroginosa were identified in this study. S. saprophyticus is the ore predominant in UTIs infection While Morganella morganii is the least common result, 8% of the total The isolates are varied in their ability to produce urease enzyme and stone (cast) they were varied in their hemolytic activity. Isolates that able to produce urease in different level which provided as main step in pathogenesis in urinary tract infections and cast formation, Zea mays, curcumine and canberry were shown very high effectively to inhibit stone in the percent of (11–13), respectively coffee and Ziziphus gave results varied in their activity.
