Bacterial uropathogens and susceptibility testing among patients diagnosed with urinary tract infections at Hiwot Fana Specialized University Hospital, Eastern Ethiopia.

About one-third of the clinically diagnosed patients with urinary tract infection were culture-positive with many types of bacterial uropathogens. Inpatients and hypertensive patients had a higher risk of developing bacterial infections. Bacterial isolates showed different percentages of susceptibility to the tested antibiotics.
