Escherichia coli cause Urinary tract infection (UTIs) throughout the world, so to improve infection control measurement knowledge about the distribution and frequency of Urinary tract infection (UTI) is very important. A total of 70 patients were examined of different ages and sexes suffering from UTIs. The isolated bacteria were recognized by conventional biochemical test and the antimicrobial susceptibility tests are performed on Mueller-Hinton agar using disk diffusion (Kirby Bauer's) technique. Out of them UTI’s prevalence in female was 68% and male 32%, the maximum UTIs prevalence rate within the age of 21-40 was (30%), followed by above 80 (07%). E. coli was sensitive to antibiotics (TZP, FOS, F, IMP, AK and SCF) in males 61-80 (09 patients), followed by age 01-20 (09 patients) in the female. However, E. coli show resistant to antibiotic found in male between the age of 61-80 (09 patients), followed by 41-60 (04 patients), while in female, consequently, from the age of 21-40 (15 patients) were reported, followed by 01-20 (09 patients) and 41-60 (06 patients). The sensitivity of antibiotic is TZP, FOS, F, IMP, AK and SCF 6/14 (40%), while resistivity antibiotics to E. coli are as follow, AM, AMC, CFX, SXT, DO, CIP, CEF and CRO 8/14 (60%). The emergence of antibacterial-resistant bacteria is also contributed by inappropriate antibacterial treatment and abuse of antibiotics. The aim of this research work was to isolate the bacteria from urinary tract infection to determine its prevalence and the antibiotics susceptibility patterns of the E. coli Bacteria.
