Patients and method : sixty two patients (women) were suffering from GUTIs consulting Al-Elwya hospital from November-2009 to March-2010.
Two samples were taken from those patients (urine samples and vaginal swabs) ; these samples were cultured on Blood, Chocolate, and MacConkey's agar for isolation of bacteria.
Results : The study group consists of sixty two women suffering from (GUTI), their ages range from 18-55 years.
Thirty eight of them were diabetic women and twenty four of them were non-diabetic women.
Twenty two of diabetic women were pregnant and sixteen of them were non-pregnant.
Fifteen of non-diabetic women were pregnant and nine of them were non- pregnant.
Conclusion : Diabetes and pregnancy is a significant predisposing factor for GUTIs in women.
