Antibiotic sensitivity patterns of uropathogens isolated from catheterized patients in a tertiary care hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Among nosocomial infections catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is one of the most common infection. The antibiotic resistance amongst uropathogens isolated from CAUTI are multi-drug resistant and a growing public health problem in world including Bangladesh. study objective was to determine aetiology find out their anti-microbial sensitivity pattern among isolates. A cross sectional done July 2016 June 2017 Dhaka Medical College, Urine samples were collected 400 patients with suspected which processed microbiologically antimicrobial performed. Out Escherichia coli (38.93%) organism followed by Pseudomonas spp, (15.98%), Klebsiella (8.61%), Proteus spp. (7.38%) Enterobacter (6.56%) Acinitobacter (1.22%). Gram positive isolates Staphylococcus aureus (1.64%) Coagulase negative Staphylococeus (6.97%%) isolated. Enterobacteriaceae showed high commonly used antimicrobials Amoxiclav, Gentamycin, Ceftriaxone, azithromycin , ciprofloxacin, cortimoxazole sensitive colistin ,nitrofurantoin ,imepenem, Meropenem. Many multi- drug hence strict aseptic precaution has be taken prior insertion after prevent
