Fig 2. High isolation of multiple antibiotic-resistant E. coli from urethral swab among male patients between 21–40 years of age.

A. The frequency of different bacteria isolates from urethral swab samples. 50.94% of the isolates were Staphylococcus epidermidis, 15.09% were Neisseria gonorrhoeae and 9.43% Escherichia coli being the third-highest bacteria isolates from the male urethra. B. Pie charts showing the various % frequencies of bacteria isolated from the different specimens collected from male patients attending UCC hospital. Escherichia coli were only isolated from urethral swabs (9.43%) and urine (20%) among the respective bacteria isolates from each specimen. C. The interleaved bars showing frequencies of bacteria isolates from Urethral swabs samples from male patients across the age categories ≤ 20 years, 21–40 years and 41–60 years. D. The interleaved bars show frequencies of bacteria isolates from urine samples across the age categories 21–40 years and 41–60 years. No bacteria isolates were obtained among the age ≤ 20 years.
