“…E. coli has also been found to be the most common cause of UTIs in males, according to other studies (32,33). E. coli was shown to be the most frequent bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections (UTIs) in earlier research done in Iraq (7,34). This study's findings are in line with those of an earlier Iranian investigation that identified P. aeruginosa as the second most prevalent gram-negative cause of UTI in human (35).…”

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of cinnamon and probiotics both alone and in combination against pathogenic bacteria isolated from UTI patients. One hundred and ten male and female patients with a urinary tract infection (UTI) who visited private health care facilities were asked to provide urine samples. The urine samples were inoculated on Blood and MacConkey agars and incubated for 24 hrs. at 37 degrees Celsius. After 24 hours of incubation, no development was seen in the cultures, thus they were kept in the incubator for a further 48 hours. Gram staining was used to classify bacteria, and then conventional microbiological culture and biochemical properties were used to identify the isolates. Cinnamomum bark oil was extracted manually. Mueller Hinton (MH) agar plates were infected with 108 CFU/ml suspensions of microorganisms; this method was used to determine the agar disc diffusion test. Discs of sterile Whatman paper No. 3 impregnated with 10 g of the compounds were placed on top of MH agar that had been infected with bacteria. For 18 hours, the plates were kept at 37°C. Inhibition zones against the various bacterial strains were used to evaluate the antibacterial impact.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the commonest infections encountered by clinicians despite the widespread availability of antimicrobial agents. Such Infections caused by different bacterial pathogens that can be acquired through both hospitals and the community. The present study is aimed to isolation and diagnosis of Staph. aureus , detecting the optimal antimicrobial for the treatment of these infections. A total of (600) mid-stream urine samples were collected during the period from August to December, 2018 from patients who were complained from UTIs at AL-Hussain Teaching Hospital in AL-Nasiriyah City, Southern Iraq. The study included isolation and diagnosis of Staph. aureus based on morphological, microscopic characterization, biochemical tests and confirmed by API-20 and Vitek2 systems. In addition , all Staph. aureus isolates were subjected to the serological diagnosis of protein A by using a latex agglutination test and convention PCR technique was used to detect the presence of the 16S rRNA gene (353bp). 380 (63.33%) were positive isolates for bacteriological examination, the Staph. aureus was identified with 50 samples (13.5 %). In addition, all Staph. aureus isolates were assayed for antimicrobial susceptibility against 14 selected antibiotic discs by using the disc diffusion method. All isolates were completely resistant to Penicillin (P), Oxacillin (Ox), and Ampicillin (Amp). While the most effective antibiotics were Nitrofurantoin, Gentamycin, isolates were susceptible to these antibiotics in 76%, and 60%, respectively. Also, In the analysis of the nucleotides sequence of the partial 16S rRNA gene, the results were showed that these bacteria actually related to Staph. aureus ,according to current result, three of these isolates registered globally in the NCBI Gen bank, and the accession numbers of these isolates are (MK910079.1),( MK910080.1), and (MK910081.1).

“…Likewise, other studies reported that E. coli was the most common pathogen causing UTIs in males (17,18). Likewise, several previous studies conducted in Iraq showed that E. coli was the most common causative microorganism responsible for UTIs (7,19). However, the resistance pattern of E. coli to antibiotics has been very different in various studies.…”

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infectious diseases at the community level, worldwide. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the main pathogens responsible for male UTI in the community. Methods: Urine samples were collected from 211 subjects with UTI between January 2017 and February 2020. The samples were inoculated directly on MacConkey and Blood agar and then incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Samples with a colony count of ≥ 105 CFU/mL bacteria were considered positive. Bacterial colonies were determined by standard culture and biochemical characteristics, and their susceptibility to different antibiotics was identified by the Vitek-2 compact equipment. Results: The vast majority of the bacteria were Gram-negative (170 [80.6%]), while 41 (19.4%) of them were Gram-positive. The highest infection was by Escherichia coli (52.6%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (14.2%). Staphylococcus spp. were the most common Gram-positive bacteria (13.8%). The highest susceptibility of Escherichia coli isolates was found to imipenem (96.4%), and the highest resistance rate was to ampicillin (96.4%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was resistant to all commonly used antibiotics, and around 86% was susceptible to ertapenem (86.7%). It was also found that Staphylococcus strains were resistant to benzylpenicillin (100%) and sensitive to linezolid (100%), tigecycline (100%), and nitrofurantoin (100%). Conclusions: E. coli isolates were the most frequent pathogens causing UTI in males, followed by P. aeruginosa and Staphylococcus spp. The vast majority of isolates were resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics such as ampicillin, ceftriaxone, cefepime, benzylpenicillin, oxacillin, and erythromycin. This is an alarming situation, and an urgent plan to control antibacterial resistance is required in the region.
