Gram negative enterics constitutes a serious problem in urinary tract infection in many parts
of the world. It has been estimated that symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI) occurs in as
many as 7 million visits to emergency units and 100,000 hospitalizations annually in USA
(Schappert, 1999). UTI has become the most common hospital-acquired infection,
