Background, Urinary tract infection is one of the common infections in the Libya community. Distribution and susceptibility of causing pathogens change rendering to period and place. UTI are difficult infections, because UTI sick of children, men and pregnant women. The aims of this study are determine the relationship between UTI and gender and age by determine the prevalence of UTI in children, men and women, and observe the more common pathogenic bacteria in UTI. Also, to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria. Study area, The data of the present article had taken from the recorders of medical laboratory of urine cultures and sensitivity of Zawia's hospital, Zawia city in Libya. Study target, UTI patient's children, women and men. This study detected that bacteria were sensitive to some antibiotics and resist to the others; all types of important pathogenic bacteria were sensitive to both antibiotics Cip and AR. In addition to last antibiotics E. coli, K. pneumonia, P. aeruginosa and S. marcescens were also sensitive to CTX, Amc, SXT, Ipm, and Gm. In opposite to theses pathogenic bacteria, some pathogenic bacteria appearance resistant to some antibiotics as fallow; K. pneumonia, K. oxytoca, E. cloacae, S. marcescens and C. koseri appearance resistant to Amp.
