Abstract
Escherichia coli was isolated from 65 urine samples out of 300 specimens collected from diabetic and non-diabetic patients with urinary tract infections. All isolates were screened for susceptibility to commonly used antibiotics. No remarkable difference in sensitivity pattern was observed between the E. coli isolates from diabetic and non-diabetic out-patients. However, the isolates from hospitalized diabetic patients showed a clear difference in sensitivity; E. coli from this group was more resistant to commonly used antibiotics compared with those from non-hospitalized diabetic and non-diabetic patients.Keywords
