Abstract
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in children under five years old pose a significant health concern, influenced by various factors like bacterial agents, anatomy, immunity, and genetics. The study aimed to identify prevalent bacterial causes of UTIs in febrile children under five at a medical center in Nigeria. Among 170 participants, E. coli was the most frequently isolated bacteria (37.5%), followed by Klebsiella spp (18.8%) and Staphylococcus aureus (15.6%). The research underscores E. coli as the primary uropathogen, aligning with global trends, while acknowledging local variations in UTI causative agents. Keywords: Urinary Tract Infections, Febrile Children, Bacterial Etiologies and Pediatric UTI.
