Urinary tract infections are the most important healthcare complications experienced in medicine and urology. Unfortunately, besides B-lactams, the Extended spectrum beta lactam producing Gram negative uropthogens causing UTI have become associated with resistance to other antibiotics such as aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones etc. The use of old antibiotic such as Fosfomycin been introduced again in the field of therapeutic. The present study was conducted prospectively in the Department of Microbiology, Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Over a period of 6 months. Mid-stream morning urine samples were collected aseptically. Semi quantitative culture was done on UTI HICROME Agar. Results: In present study time 2000 (40.97%) urine sample were received, out of which 1511 (75.55%) were culture positive, 300 (15%) were sterile and 189 (9.45%) were insignificant bacterial count, Gram negative bacilli were 1100 (72.79%), Gram positive cocci were 411 (27.200%). Among GNB isolates Escherichia coli 501 (45.54%) was the most common isolate followed by Klebseilla spp.189 (17.18%), Citrobacter spp. were 130(11.81%), Pseudomonas spp.120 (10.90%), Aceinatobacter spp.110 (10%) and Proteus spp. were 50 (4.54%). Age-wise distribution 20-29 years (60.36%) group was the most common. Fosfomycin was the most sensitive antibiotic was reported. The culture and Antibiotic sensitivity testing (AST) of uropathogens should be done. Fosfomycin found to be suggesting that it could be used as empiric monotherapy for uncomplicated UTIs.
