چکیده

background and objective: urinary tract infection (utis) is one of the most common diagnosed infectious diseases. in order to determine the spectrum of bacterial etiology and antibiotic resistance pattern of the uropathogens that cause community acquired uti, a retrospective study was performed in research center of reference laboratories of iran on urine samples of referred patients during a 4 years period (from 2002 to 2006). materials and methods: during the study period, 4207 urine specimens were cultured. cultures with a significant bacterial growth were selected and susceptibility testing was performed using disk diffusion method. results: outof 4207 urine specimens, 476 (11%) yielded positive culture. escherichia coli (44.5 %) and klebsiella pneumoniae (8.5%) were the most predominant isolated bacteria respectively. escherichia coli revealed the highest susceptibility among oral antibiotics to nitrofurantoin (76%) and the highest rate of resistance to carbenicillin (94%) and ampicillin (89%) respectively. in total isolates, the highest level of susceptibility was for imipenem (99%) and among oral antibiotics for nitrofurantoin (70 %), and the highest level of resistance was for carbenicillin (89%) and ampicillin (84%). conclusion: the results of this study revealed a considerable resistance to fluoroquinolones and co-trimoxazole and a high sensitivity to nitrofurantoin among isolated bacteria. we strongly recommend nitrofurantoin as the drug of choice for empiric therapy of uti in our country.

Demographic characteristics of patients with community-acquired bacteriuria and susceptibility of urinary pathogens to antimicrobials in northern Israel.

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections. Since antibiotics are given empirically, it is necessary to assess the distribution and susceptibility of the microorganisms in each case. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the demographic characteristics of ambulatory patients with UTI, the distribution and susceptibility of uropathogens, and the risk factors associated ...

Bacterial Pathogens and Their Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern Isolated from Urinary Tract Infection in a Tertiary Care Centre

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) remains the most common bacterial infection in human population. The squealae of complicated UTIs are substantial. It is well established that in the presence of obstruction, calculus, Diabetes mellitus, and other risk factors, UTIs can lead to progressive renal damage. The aim of this study was to determine bacterial agents responsible for urinary tract infection ...

Frequency of isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial pathogens isolated from patients with bloodstream infections: a French prospective national survey.

All bloodstream strains, total 1463, isolated during a 1 month period in 105 hospitals representing all geographical areas in France were collected to study their antimicrobial susceptibility. The three major species were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci. Among the 242 S. aureus, 87 were resistant to methicillin and among those 99% were resistant to c...
