Light infection (78.9%) was higher than heavy infection (21.1%). Prevalence of bacteriuria was 88.4% in infected individuals. Escherichia coli (20.5%), Salmonella spp (16.1%), and Staphylococcus aureus (16.1%) were major isolates. A 100% bacterial susceptibility to ciprofloxacin and taravid, was observed and up to 100% resistance with tetracycline, cotrimoxazole and nitrofuratoin.
