Abdu, Mohammed Kachallah, Kemebradikumo D. Pondei & Adebayo Lamikanra Niger Delta University Abstract- Background: We sought to investigate the health challenges attributed to urinary tract infections (UTI) amongst internally displaced persons (IDPs) in north- eastern Nigeria. Methods: Urine specimens were collected, micro- biologically processed and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing using standard agar disc diffusion techniques in accordance with standard protocols. Results: Citrobacter spp. accounted for 1407 (30.01%) of the total uropathogens identified with Citrobacter freundii 850 (60.4%) being the most frequently encountered isolates. This was followed by Citrobacter koseri 421 (29.9%), while Citrobacter amalonaticus and Citrobacter intermedius accounted for 68 (4.85%) each. All the Citrobacter isolates were found to be resistant to Amoxicillin, Cephalexin, Co-trimoxazole, and Tetra- cycline. Keywords: citrobacter, uropathogenic, antimicrobial susceptibility, internally displaced persons, multi-drug resistance, urinary tract infections.
