It is the most common bacterial infections in humans, both in community and hospital settings and only E.coli accounts for 80-90% of infections. UTI has been a most common complications among pregnant women and has a conspicuous role in increasing the number of stillbirth deliveries. Untreated UTI may lead to most common cause of pre-delivery hospitalization and birth of low weight infants. Antibiotics like Nitrofurantoin, Trimethoprim or cephalexin are appropriate drug of choice for the treatment, but increasing resistance among microorganisms towards the commonly used antibiotics is the most challenging problem facing by world today. Plants have traditionally provided a source of hope for novel drug compounds. The use of plant extracts with known antimicrobial properties can be of great significance for therapeutic treatments. In the present investigation, extract from plant and its antimicrobial screening had been done against multi drug resistant E.coli to identify new antimicrobial compounds.

UTIs are among the most common bacterial infections in humans, both in community and hospital settings and have been reported in all age groups in both sexes, women are more likely than men to get UTI because of their urinary tracts design, nearly half of the all women have a UTI at some point in their lives. Most of the UTI are caused by gram negative bacteria like E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, Serratia and Morganellamarganii. UTI are also caused by gram positive bacteria like Enterococcus, Staphylococcus especially coagulase negative Staphylococci and Streptococcus agalacticae. Antibiotics are the main treatment for all UTIs. A variety of antibiotics are available, and choices depend on many factors including whether the infection is complicated or uncomplicated or primary or recurrent. In the present time multiple drug resistance in microbial pathogens become a serious health problem to humankind worldwide. It is aroused due to indiscriminate and repetitive use of antimicrobial drugs. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or eliminates the effectiveness of drugs, chemicals or other agents designed to cure or prevent infection. The bacteria survive and cause more harm. A number of multiple drug resistant strains and appearance of the strains with reduced susceptibility to antibiotics are continuously increasing. The past record of rapid, widespread emergence of resistance of newly introduced antimicrobial agents indicates that even new families of antimicrobial agents will have a short life expectancy.
