  Urinary Tract Infection (UTIs) is referred as one of the most common
infection in medical sectors worldwide and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is
also a global threat to human that is related with many diseases. As
antibiotics 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. 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. From
total 121 samples of gram positive bacteria the highest prevalence rate of UTIs
was found in age group of 21-30 year. Mostly Enterococcus spp. (33.05%)
Staphylococcus aureus (27.27%), Streptococcus spp. (20.66%), Beta-hemolytic
streptococci (19.00%) were found as causative agents of UTI compared to others.
The majority of isolates have been detected as multi-drug resistant (MDR). The
higher percentage of antibiotic resistance were found against Azithromycin
(75%), and cefixime (64.46%). This research focused on the regular basis of
surveillance for the Gram-positive bacteria antibiotic susceptibility to
increase awareness about the use of proper antibiotic thus minimize the drug
resistance.
