Background: Urinary tract infections(UTIs) are referred as one of the most common infections in medical sectors worldwide and antimicrobial resistance is also a global threat to humans that is related to many diseases. As antibiotics are used for the treatment of infectious diseases, the rate of resistance is increasing day by day. Gram‑positive pathogens are commonly found in urine sample collected from different age groups of people, associated with UTI. Methods: The study was conducted in a diagnostic center in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with total 1308 urine samples from November 2021 to April 2022. Gram-positive pathogens were isolated and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done. Results: From the total of 121 samples of Gram-positive bacteria (GPB), the highest prevalence rate of UTIs was found in the age group of 21–30 years. Mostly, Enterococcusspp. (33.05%), Staphylococcus aureus(27.27%), Streptococcus spp. (20.66%), and beta-hemolytic streptococci (19.00%) were found as causative agents of UTI compared to others. The majority of isolates has been detected as multi-drug resistance (MDR). The higher percentage of antibiotic resistance was found against azithromycin (75%) and cefixime (64.46%). Conclusion: This research focused on the regular basis of surveillance for the GPB antibiotic susceptibility to increase awareness about the use of proper antibiotics and thus minimize drug resistance.
