Abstract
The study was carried out in red sea state during the period from November 2013 to March 2014 to investigate the Enterobacteriaceae from patients suffering from community-acquired urinary tract infections and then do sensitivity test for each of isolates. In this study out of 100 specimens 52 <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> species were isolated from different clinics and hospitals in Port Sudan city. The specimens werecultured on CLED media ( cystinelactose electrolyte deficiency). identification was done by gram's stain and convential biochemical reactions. Then the anti–microbial sensitivity tests were done as the follows: (Ampicillin-Sulbactam "AS", Co. trimoxazole "BA", Ceftizoxime "CI", Chloramphenicol "CH", Cephalaxin "PR", Tetracycline "TE", Ciprofloxacin "CP", Amikacin "AK", Sparfloxacin "SC", Gatifloxacin "GF", Norflaxcin "NX) by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. The study revealed that the most part of strains are sensitive to Chloramphenicol andAmikacin and resistant to Ampicillin –Sulpactam (AS). The identified <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i> were as follows; <i>Escherichia coli</i> 34 (65%), <i>Klebsiella pneumonia</i> 10 (19%), <i>Klebsiella oxytoca</i> 3(6%), <i>Salmonella Para A</i> 3 (6%), <i>proteus mirabilis</i> 1 (2%), <i>Citrobacter</i> 1 (2%).
Highlights
Urinary tract infection represents one of the commonest bacterial infections
Some cases of urinary tract infection (UTI) are due to fungus or a virus, most are caused by one of several types of bacteria most cases of UTIs are caused by bacteria that typically multiply at the opening of the urethra and travel up to the bladder
The isolated Enterobacteriaceae were as followed: Escherichia coli 34 (65.4%), Klebsiella pneumonia 10 (19.2%), Klebsiella oxytoca 3(5.7%), Salmonella Para A 3 (5.7%), proteus mirabilis 1 (2%), Citrobacter 1 (2%) (Figure 2)
Summary
Urinary tract infection represents one of the commonest bacterial infections. The Enterobacteriaceae are the most frequent pathogen detected, causing most of the urinary tract infection, Enterobacteriaceae are a group of largest, most heterogeneous collection of medically important gram –ve bacilli, being found worldwide in soil, water and are part of the normal florain the intestine of most animal and human this family include many genera such as(Escherichia. These days the main cause for concern among Enterobacteriaceae especially that cause community acquired infection is Escherichia coli. A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a condition in which one or more parts of the urinary system (the kidneys, bladder, and urethra) become infected. Some cases of UTI are due to fungus or a virus, most are caused by one of several types of bacteria most cases of UTIs are caused by bacteria that typically multiply at the opening of the urethra and travel up to the bladder. Bacteria spread to the kidney from the bloodstream [1]
