Abstract
The present studies were conducted to detect and identify the microorganism from the urine of pregnant women having urinary tract infection. The antibiotic susceptibility of these isolated microorganisms was also determined. The microorganisms found responsible for the infection were bacteria, fungi, yeast and protozoa. Among the bacteria two were identified as Gram-positive cocci i. e. Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis, the remaining two were Gram-negative bacilli which were Escherichia coli and pseudomonas aeruginosa. The fungus was identified as Aspergillus niger and the yeast like fungus Candida albican. The only protozoan found in some of the urine samples was Trichomonas vaginalis. These isolated and identified microorganisms were more susceptible to Norfloxacin, Velosef, Minocin, Nitrofurantion, Malidixic acid and Metronidazole whereas antibiotics Penbritin and Cefaloridine were least effective against these microorganisms.
