Objectives: The present study is designed to determine the frequency and risk factor of urinary tract infection in patients with or without diabetes, and to determine antimicrobial susceptibility among type 2 subjects with controlled and uncontrolled glycemia. Study Design: Retrospective Study. Setting: Department of Microbiology, Baqai Institute of Diabetology and Endocrinology (BIDE). Period: October 2016 to September 2018.

Results: A total of 117 (28.96%) and 287 (35.52%) uropathogens were isolated from patients with and without diabetes respectively. Percentage of positive culture was high which was 62.30% and 38.25% in female in both patients with and without diabetes respectively. E. coli was found to be the most frequently isolated bacteria from both patients with diabetes and without diabetes, as 50.43% and 52.26% respectively.
