Urinary tract infection caused by bacteria leads to inflammation. It is an important infection which can cause a highly morbidity rates in both males and females. The aim of the present study was determine the percentage prevalence of the UTI among the general population and the percentage of the bacterial isolates in the Urine samples. Among 150 samples bacterial isolates were obtained which included Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The highest prevalence of specific bacteria was found to be Escherichia coli recorded among all the UTI patients to be (55.55%) the least percentage among the bacteria were Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter aerogenes which recorded 16.66%, 5.55%, 11.11% and 11.11% respectively.
