Microbial Profile and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Uropathogens Isolated From Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI)
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are defined as diseases which are caused by a microbial invasion of the genitourinary tract that extends from the renal cortex of the kidney to the urethral meatus 2 . Among UTIs acquired in the hospital, approximately 75% are associated with a urinary catheter 3 . Catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is one of the most important Device associated ...
متن کاملSpecies distribution and antibiotic susceptibility profile of bacterial uropathogens among patients complaining urinary tract infections
BACKGROUND Urinary tract infection is the second most common type of infection and the problem is further compounded by the emergence of drug resistance in bacterial uropathogens. The aim of this study was to determine the spectrum of bacterial uropathogens and their drug resistant pattern. METHODS A single institutional cross-sectional study was carried out at Arsho Advanced Medical laborato...
متن کاملAetiology of community-acquired urinary tract infection and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of uropathogens isolated.
INTRODUCTION Antibiotic resistance among uropathogens causing urinary tract infection (UTI) is increasing worldwide. In most cases of UTI, family physicians can provide empirical treatment without the benefit of a pre-therapy urine culture. Knowledge of the aetiology and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of uropathogens is important in order to determine the best empiric treatment option. T...
متن کاملCharacterisation of bacterial growth and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in canine urinary tract infections
BACKGROUND Bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common reason for antimicrobial therapy in dogs. A reported increase in multi-drug resistance in canine bacterial pathogens, including resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESC) is of concern as antimicrobial resistance complicates therapy in dogs. In addition, it is a possible public health concern. The objectives of this study ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance in Uropathogens and Determining Empirical Therapy for Urinary Tract Infections
INTRODUCTION Analyzing antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Uropathogens helps to overcome the therapeutic difficulties created by the emerging antimicrobial resistant bacteria and guides in choosing appropriate empirical therapy. The aim of the study is to understand the susceptibility patterns of the uropathogens which assists in choosing the empirical therapy for UTI. Midstream urine samples...
