Abstract The aim of this work is to study the most common bacteria infecting the Genito-Urinary Tract (GUT) using physical, biochemical and molecular techniques. A total of 56 samples were collected (urine or semen or prostatic discharge) from a group of Egyptian patients suffering from premature ejaculation, painful urination or the presence of colored discharge. Identification of isolated bacterial strains was performed using microscopic examination, biochemical testing. RAPD-PCR was used as a random fingerprinting technique to compare between isolates from the same bacterial strains. Staphylococcus species was the most common bacteria (30%) infecting genitourinary tract of the Egyptian males followed by Klebsiella spp. (19%) & E.coli (17%). Multidrug resistance was detected in all groups of organisms. |
