<title>STUDY OF BACTERIAL INFECTION IN UTI AND THEIR DETERMINATION OF SUSCEPTIBILITY TO ANTIBIOTICS IN POST RENAL TRANSPLANTS </title>
<abstract>Bacterial infections are the most common pathogenic infections, during the first month of post kidney transplantation. In this study, about 164 kidney transplanted patients were assessed for the presence of the pathogenic bacteria such as  lessThan i greaterThan Escherichia coli, Klebsiella  lessThan /i greaterThan spp. etc. Urine samples collected from the patients were cultured for the isolation of bacteria and were identified using regular biochemical tests and antibiotic resistances assays. The incidence of infection was positive for 96 (58.54%) out of 164 patients.  lessThan i greaterThan E. coli  lessThan /i greaterThan was mostly isolated bacteria with a frequency rate of 32.5%, followed by  lessThan i greaterThan Klebsiella  lessThan /i greaterThan spp. (20%),  lessThan i greaterThan Pseudomonas  lessThan /i greaterThan spp. (11.3%),  lessThan i greaterThan Proteus  lessThan /i greaterThan spp. (8.4%),  lessThan i greaterThan Acinetobacter  lessThan /i greaterThan spp. (7.5%),  lessThan i greaterThan Citrobacter  lessThan /i greaterThan spp. (4.3%) and  lessThan i greaterThan Streptococcus aureus  lessThan /i greaterThan (12.8%). All the Gram-negative bacteria were found to be sensitive to amikacin (92.4-100%) and other isolates showed sensitive to Cefotaxime, Imepenem and Gentamicin. Thus, the present study aims to implement a new prophylaxis regimen for the treatment of post-operative infection.</abstract>
