Abstract
A 24 year old male patient came to Sree Balaji medical college and hospital, with complaints of difficulty to pass urine, abdominal pain, distension and no history of fever. He was admitted in surgical ward and to relieve from the symptoms he was catherized along with medications. The patient felt better and was discharged after 3 days of observation with the catheter. The bacterial isolate was catalase positive, coagulase weakly positive and non motile and was resistant to ampicillin, gentamycin, ceftazidime, ceftriazone, penicillin, erythromycin and oxacillin. Our study highlight the importance of its isolation from clinical samples and the resistance pattern shown by them also makes Kochuria an important specimen to be identified.
