Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Proteus mirabilis and Escherichia coli showed 100% resistance to Augmentin (30μg), Ofloxacin (5μg), Gentamicin (10μg), Nalixidic acid (30μg), Nitrofuratoin (200μg), Cotrimoxazole (25μg), Amoxycillin (25μg), Tetracycline (25μg), while the strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated were highly susceptible to the aforementioned antibiotics except for tetracycline (100%). However, an elevated trend of bacterial flora were isolated as follows Escherichia coli 49.4% (88 male), 49.5% (96 female), Pseudomonas aeroginosa 18.5% (33 male), 18.6% (36 female), Klebsiella pneumoniae 16.9% (30 male), 17.0% (33 female), Proteus mirabilis 6.7% (12 male), 7.2% (14 female), Serratia marcensens 3.4% (6 male), 3.1% (6 female), Enterobacter aerogenes 5.1% (9 male), 4.6% (9 female) for Gram negative organisms while the Gram positive ones were Staphylococcus aureus 55.3% (78 male), 60.6% (140 female), Staphylococcus saprophyticus 24.1% (34 male), 20.8% (48 female), Enterococcus faecalis 13.5% (19 male), 14.3% (33 female), and Bacillus subtilis 7.1% (10 male), 4.3% (10 female). Results of this study showed that, none of the examined subjects had urinary schistosomiasis.
Three hundred and seventy-two urine samples were randomly collected from primary school children (one hundred and eighty-six samples each from both sexes) and analysed using standard microbiological procedures. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence and intensity of urinary schistosomiasis and other urinary tract infections among school children in Ijebu North L.G.A, Ogun State, Nigeria.
