title: [Comparative study of the microbiological components in urinary infection (UTI)].
abstract: Hundred-six-fifty-one samples of urine obtained from external (460 samples) and hospitalized (191 samples) patients with suspected urinary tract infections (UTI) were analysed for bacterial flora isolation, identification of microorganisms and evaluation of their sensitivity to antimicrobial agents. 89 and 215 bacterial strains were identified in samples obtained respectively from external and hospitalized patients. E. coli was the dominant cause of community acquired UTI (68.59%), while the causative agents of UTI in hospitalized patients were Streptococcus faecalis (18.61%) and E. coli (13.96%).
