Forty-eight (48) urine samples were isolated from 50 women suffering from urinary tract infections, Staphylococcus aureus (18) 37.5%, Escherichia coli (15) 31.25%, Ps. aeruginosa (8) 16.6%, Klebsiella sp. (5) 10.4%, Enterobacter sp (2) 4.16%. The sensitivity of bacteria to the antibiotics Amikacin, Amoxicillin/Clavulanic, Ampicillin/Sulbactam, Cefixime, Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin, Imipenem, Nitrofurantion, Penicillin, and eTtracycline was tested, and the result showed the resistance of

The ability of the isolates to form biofilms was tested using the Congo red agar method and the micro titrations plate method. The results showed that not all isolates have the ability to produce biofilms that lack the ability to form biofilms, and the results were that red tea is the most powerful antibacterial under study. The results showed that pregnant women who suffer from pressure problems have been taken green tea regularly for two weeks improved their blood pressure and became normal 118/78, and the level of iron in the blood was very normal at a rate of Hb = 11.8. While drinking red tea did not change blood pressure measurements in pregnant women with high blood pressure.
