Abstract

A study to determine antibiotic susceptibility profile of E.coli urinary tract infection among female students of University of Agriculture, Makurdi was under- taken. A total of 100 early mornings, mid -stream urine samples were collected and cultured on Cystein Lactose Electrolyte Deficiency (CLED) and Eosine Methylene Blue (EMB). Out of the 100 samples, 48 had growth. E.coli was 25%, Staphylococcus aureus 9%, Candida albicans 8%, Klebsiellaspp 4%, Pseudomonas and Proteus spp 2.1%. E.coli had the highest percentage while proteus and Pseudomonas had the lowest. However it was not statistically significant. Antibiotic susceptibility test by disc diffusion method indicated that , the most effective antibiotics was gentamycin with 92%,while the most resistant was septrin with 16%. Others were Ciprofloxacin 76%, ofloxcin 60%, sperfloxacin 24%, amoxicillin24%, and chloramphenicol 16%. E.coli is a common etiologic agent of urinary tract infection (UTI) among female students in University of Agriculture, Makurdi and its antibiotics susceptibility profile indicates that UTI caused by E.coli can be effectively treated.
