Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate bacterial causes of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in diseased and apparently healthy pet animals and human. Bacteriological examination of 106 collected urine samples were classified into 6 groups; HUTI, AHCO, AHDO, CUTI, AHC and AHD; revelaed that there were a positive bacteriuria in 59.4% (63samples). The predominant isolated pathogens were E. coli, S. aureus and Klebsiella spp < /em>. E. coli recorded the highest incidence with a percentage of 48.1% followed by S. aureus (28.3%) followed by klebsiella spp < /em> (4.7%). All isolates were sensitive to Amikacin, Azithromycin, and Imipenem; intermedaite sensitivity to Amoxacillin/Clavulanic acid and resistant to Cefepime and Cephradine. By using conventional PCR, the isolated E. coli, S. aureus and Klebsiella spp < /em> were molecularly confirmed for the presence of phoA, 16S rRNA and gyrA gene, respectively.
