Prevalence and Antibiotic Susceptibility of E. coli Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in Bangladesh

B.K. Bhowmick and H. Rashid
A retrospective study on Urinary tract infection (UTI) was carried out among the patients those come in a community diagnostic center in Dhaka city during January 2001 to December 2001.
