 males and 107 (35.7%) females had their urine samples collected, examined and cultured using standard bacteriological techniques. The bacteria isolated include: <i>Escherichia coli</i> 30 (30.6%), <i>Klebsiella aerogenes</i> 22 (22.5%), <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> 12 (12.2%), <i>Proteus rettgeri</i> 24 (24.5%) and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> 10 (10.2%) in the decreasing order of isolate. The antimicrobial sxusceptibility pattern of these bacteria revealed varying susceptibilies by all isolates to Gentamycin and Erythromycin but was resistant to Amoxicillin. <i>Klebsiella aerogenes</i> was sensitive to all except Septrin, Ampiclox and Amoxicillin. <i>Escherichia coli</i> were sensitive to all and resistant to Sephrin, Pefloxacin, Ampiclox, Amoxicillin and Rocephin. <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> was resistant to Sephrin, Ampiclox, zinnacef and Amoxicillin but sensitive to other antibiotic used. <i>Proteus rettgeri was</i> resistant to Streptomycin, Ampiclox, Amoxicillin, Rocephin and Ceprofloxacin and sensitive to others. <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> was sensitive to all the antimicrobial agents used but were resistant to Sephrin, Pefloxacin, Amoxicillin and Rocephin. This study clearly illustrates that bacteriuria is a major difficulty encountered in the management of urinary schistosomiasis. Therefore, there is also need to incorporate antibacterial therapy to the integrated morbidity control approach of diagnosis, drugs treatment, snail control in mass schistosomicidal treatment programmes along with other public health interventions such as access to safe water, improved sanitation, health education, health communication and appropriate case management.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/893.jpg)

Urinary schistosomiasis and bacteriuria was investigated in Enwan community in order to determine the various bacteria associated with the infection and there antibiogram. A total of 300 Positive individuals for Schistosoma haematobium, comprising of 193 (64.3%) males and 107 (35.7%) females had their urine samples collected, examined and cultured using standard bacteriological techniques. The bacteria isolated include: Escherichia coli 30 (30.6%), Klebsiella aerogenes 22 (22.5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 12 (12.2%), Proteus rettgeri 24 (24.5%) and Staphylococcus aureus 10 (10.2%) in the decreasing order of isolate. The antimicrobial sxusceptibility pattern of these bacteria revealed varying susceptibilies by all isolates to Gentamycin and Erythromycin but was resistant to Amoxicillin. Klebsiella aerogenes was sensitive to all except Septrin, Ampiclox and Amoxicillin. Escherichia coli were sensitive to all and resistant to Sephrin, Pefloxacin, Ampiclox, Amoxicillin and Rocephin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was resistant to Sephrin, Ampiclox, zinnacef and Amoxicillin but sensitive to other antibiotic used. Proteus rettgeri was resistant to Streptomycin, Ampiclox, Amoxicillin, Rocephin and Ceprofloxacin and sensitive to others. Staphylococcus aureus was sensitive to all the antimicrobial agents used but were resistant to Sephrin, Pefloxacin, Amoxicillin and Rocephin. This study clearly illustrates that bacteriuria is a major difficulty encountered in the management of urinary schistosomiasis. Therefore, there is also need to incorporate antibacterial therapy to the integrated morbidity control approach of diagnosis, drugs treatment, snail control in mass schistosomicidal treatment programmes along with other public health interventions such as access to safe water, improved sanitation, health education, health communication and appropriate case management.
