A Review of Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections

Comparison of Antibiotic Sensitivity of Prevalent Bacteria Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections in 2002 and 2006 in Urmia, Iran

         Urine specimens collected from in-patients and out-patients in Urmia Imam Hospital, northwest Iran, were cultured on blood agar and Eosin Methylene Blue agar. Isolated bacteria were identified according to standard microbiological tests and then subjected to sensitivity testing according to routine method of disk agar diffusion technique. Out of 8044 and 10425 urine specimens, 8.7% and...
