Urine specimens fromtotally 228 adult patients (146 worrıen, 82 men) suffering from urinary tract infection were examined for Mycoplasma Species. Ureaplasma urealyticum was found in 22 of males (27.5%) and 43 of females (29.6%). Myco-plasma hominis was found in 6 of males (7.5 %) and 17 of ferriales (11.7 %). Both of the microorganisms were detected in one male ( 1.25%) and 7 females (4.8%) only. Results were compared with those of the controls. In approach to a patient whose urine culture negative, and with urethritis resistant to penicillin therapy a Mycoplasrna infection must be concerned.

Aim: Kluyvera sp., a Gram-negative bacterium in Enterobacteriaceae family, may give rise to such infections as urinary system infections, enteritis, soft tissue infections and sepsis in children. It is known that Kluyvera species is an opportunistic pathogen detected in immunosuppressed hosts as well as in immunocompetent ones. Considering that it may enlight future studies related to Kluyvera infections, studies in the literature have been scanned. Material and Method: The data about Kluyvera spp. isolates were obtained retrospectively from clinical microbiology records. Result: It was seen that, of the 3 Kluyvera isolates, 1 was a urine specimen, and the other 2 were from umbli cal area. In this study, antimicrobial susceptibility studies of the clinically significant Kluyvera isolates showed susceptibility patterns similar to those reported in the medical literature, namely trends of resistance to ampicillin and first- and second-generation cephalosporins. Moreover none of the clinically significant isolates were resistant to amikacin, ciprofloxacin, gentamycin, and trimethoprim+sulfametoxazole. Conclusion: It was concluded in the light of both the studies in the literatüre and this study that rare and opportunistic organisms, such as Kluyvera may be an infection cause in children.

The Middle urinary cultures of the people who comes to a Private Labarotory in Niğde with diagnosis of urinary system infections were examined. The 264 gram negative of bacteria were defined with classical methods. The susceptibilityof the bacteria to various antibiotics which were defined are determined with Kirby-Bauer disc-diffusion method. E.coli was the most often isolated bacteria from cultures. İt was found that the most effective antibiotics aganist the isolated strains were netilmycin and amicacin.

İn this study, we evaluated urine samples of the patients who admitted to the microbiology laboratory of Selçuk University betvveen the years 1991 and January 2000. We determined the effective pathogens of urinary tract infections and their isolation rates. Totally 8901 (18.6%) effective pathogens were isolated from 47794 urine samples. Most freçuently isolated pathogens were E. coli (45.4%), S. aureus (11.4%) and Proteus spp. (10.2%).
