ABSTRACT
The genus Hafnia, a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae, consists of Gram negative bacteria that are occasionally implicated in both intestinal and extraintestinal infections in human. This genus contains only a single species [Hafnia alvei]. The above bacterium was identified from 250 bacterial strains which were isolated from 220 urine samples of patients with urinary tract infection. One H. alvei strain was isolated from an elderly patient, and identified by conventional biochemical tests and API20E system at the first time in Iraq. Antimicrobial susceptibility test showed that this strain is sensitive to Cefotaxime, Ciprofluxacine, Chloramphenicol, Doxycycline and Trimethoprim-sulfamethaxzole, while it is resistant to Penicillin, Oxacillin and Amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid. H. alvei an important uropathogen that causing urinary tract infection in elderly and may be in immunocompromised patients
