The study was carried out on 70 urine samples were collected from 70
diagnosed urinary tract infection patients attended Ibn-Sena Educational

bacteria, whereas 22 (31.4%) for Gram positive bacteria. 4 (5.7%) isolates of
Morganella morganii were isolated. Which identified by biochemical tests,
VITEK -2 SYSTEM and confirm the identification with molecular techniques based
on 16S rRNA. All isolates appeared resistance (100%) to Ampicillin,
Ceftriaxone, Cefotaxime and Cefixime, whereas the resistance to Gentamycin and Doxycycline
was (75%). Resistance to Meropenem, Imipenem and Levofloxacin was (50%). While
Resistance to Ciprofloxacin was (25%).
