Urinary tract infection is caused by the presence and growth of microorganisms in the urinary tract, is perhaps the single commonest bacterial infection of mankind. The present study was carried out to identify Escherichia coli from urinary tract infected patients those come to a community hospital in Jessore city. For the confirmation of the presence of this disease causing agent various cultural and biochemical techniques were performed. A total of 87 clinically suspected patients having urinary tract infection were studied, 50 were found to be culture positive. Among the positive cultures, 30 (60%) isolates were infected with Escherichia coli. The study showed that the most susceptible group for urinary tract infection ranges between 16-45 years of age, as this group comprised of 15(50%) individuals. Antibiotic susceptibility for all 30 isolates was determined against locally available eleven drugs. High resistance rates were observed against most of the antibiotics examined here. Amoxycilin stood to be the most resistant type of antibiotic (90%), followed by nalidixic acid (57%), cephlexin (50%), ciprofloxacin (37%), ceftriaxone (27%), doxycycline (24%) and cefixime (20%). Gentamycin and nitrofurantoin got lower resistance rates at 14% and 3% respectively, but resistance to netilmycine was not found among all 30 isolates. Multidrug resistance pattern of the isolated organism was also observed in this present study.
