Identification and Authentication of Microbes Causing Urinary Tract Infection and Detection of Antibacterial Activity for Methanolic Extract of Senna alexanderina against these Pathogenic Bacteria in Khartoum State, Sudan

Abstract

The aim of this study is to isolate and identify the microbes causing urinary tract infection and antibacterial of those microbes by used methanolic extract of plant and antibiotics. One hundred samples were collected for both genders in Khartoum State. From sixty-three out of one hundred samples obtained on different types of microbes are Staphylococcus   aureus   (33.3%), Enterococcus fecales (9.5%), Escherichea coli (19%), Klebsiella pneumonae (7.9%), Protus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeuroginosa (9.5%), Citrobacter  ssp (4.7%), Candida albicans (7.9%). The antibacterial results against isolated microorganisms using methanolic extract of Senna alexanderina showed resistance to these microbes except S. aureus was sensitive; also, most microbes were sensitive to antibiotics.
