Providencia stuartii nosocomial urinary tract infections occurring in the same hospital over an 18-month period of retrospective study were shown, by serotyping and biotyping, to have been caused by two endemic strains. Two episodes, involving 38 patients in one ward and 11 patients in another, were caused by a mannitol-positive strain of serotype O55. Transmission of the strain through the movements of one patient appeared to have been the basis for the introduction of the agent from one ward to the other. In another episode, involving two patients in a third ward, the infections were caused by a mannitol-negative strain of serotype O49. The study demonstrated the usefulness of serotyping and biotyping in epidemiological studies of infections caused by P. stuartii.

The bacterial and sensitivity pattern towards antimicrobials on urinary tract infections (UTI) patients are very important to beknown by clinicians to get a successful treatment. The bacterial and sensitivity pattern towards antimicrobials will be changed in differentplace and time, so that those should be analyzed routinely. To evaluate the bacterial and antimicrobials resistance pattern on urinarytract infections patients. A retrospective study on 220 urinary samples in January until December 2004 at Clinical Microbiology subunit of Dr.Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital . Of 99 samples of UTI, Prevalence of UTI in woman (54.5%) were higher than man (45.5%).Most of sample (28 samples) were found in 0 to 15 years group. The most bacteries in urine were Escherichia coli (39.4%) and Klebsiella(26.3%). Amikacin was sensitive to all bacteries, while amoxicilin and ampicilin were resistance. Prevalence of UTI in women werehigher than in men. Incidens of UTI was highest in children group. The most bacteries in urine samples were Escherichia coli. Amikacinwas sensitive to all bacteries, while Amoxicilin and Ampicilin were resistance.
