title: [Frequency and antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria identified in urine].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The authors had for aim to evaluate the frequency of isolation and the antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria responsible for urinary infections among in and out-patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective study was carried out at the Microbiology Laboratory of the Mohammed-V Military Instruction Hospital in Rabat, on bacteria isolated from 896 positive cytobacteriologic examinations of urine, from January 1 to December 31, 2005.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among the 7472 urinary samples, 896 answered the criteria of urinary infection (12%). Urinary infections were more frequent in in-patients (57.8%; sex-ratio F/M=1:16). Enterobacteria were the most frequent (85%) and especially Escherichia coli (44.7%). Gram positive bacteria (11.6%) were more frequently Staphylococcus saprophyticus (3.1%). E. coli was highly resistant to amoxicillin, and sulfamethoxazole, whereas quinolones and aminosides maintained a good activity and third generation cephalosporines remain active (97% of susceptibility). Among the enterobacteria present, 3.2% were resistant to third generation cephalosporines with extended spectrum betalactamase.
