Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are amongst the most common infectious diseases in community practice.1 UTIs are caused by both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.2 Escherichia coli remains the predominant uropathogen (80%) isolated, followed by Staphylococcus saprophyticus (10-15%). Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Streptococcus, Serratia, Enterococci, and Proteus species account for the remaining 5-10% of UTIs.3-5 It should be noted that colonization of uropathogens may involve lower as well as upper urinary tract. The infections of the lower urinary tract include cystitis, urethritis, prostatitis, and epididymitis, and those of the upper urinary tract include pyelonephritis.6 The clinical features of UTIs most commonly include urinary frequency, urgency, dysuria, suprapubic pain, and possible hematuria
