Urinary tract includes upper urinary tract and lower urinary tract. Where upper urinary tract consist kidneys and ureters and lower urinary tract consists bladder, prostate (in male) and urethra.

Results and conclusion: Total 1402 numbers of specimens collected and tested and positivity rate of UTI showed 23.25 % (326/1402). Escherichia coli (E.
