Abstract
An estimated 150 million UTIs occur annually across the globe, making it one of the most prevalent diseases seen in medical practice and a significant public health concern in terms of morbidity and financial cost. It is also main cause of illness and mortality in the underdeveloped countries like Pakistan. Prevalence of UTIs has been reported in both gender men (30%) and most common among the female (70%) with a peak incidence in the old age (>45). The most common pathogen of UTIs, whether acquired in the community or in a hospital, is Escherichia coli. Usually, antibiotics are drug of choice for patients with UTIs Possible development of MDR due to the excessive use of broad-spectrum agents is main reason behind less effectiveness of antibiotics.
