abstract={The aim of this study was to determine the etiologic agents and the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> isolated among antiretroviral therapy users with asymptomatic urinary tract infections. Urine samples were collected for the diagnostic purpose. Uropathogen bacteria were identified using microbiological conventional methods, and the antibiotic susceptibility test was carried out using disk diffusion method. The predominant microorganisms isolated were <i>Escherichia coli</i> (49.6 %) followed by coagulase negative staphylococci (18.4 %) and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (14.1%). All <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> identified were resistant to methicillin and multidrug resistant. The results of the present study suggest the use antibiotic susceptibility test before treatment of urinary tract infection in human immunodeficiency virus infected patients.},
