Prevalence and Antibiogram Pattern of Salmonella Causing UTI Infection

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Salmonella in the urine of UTI patient. Salmonella species are a rare cause of urinary tract infections and it also associated with food-borne gastroenteritis. Salmonella UTI is uncommon and is reported more often in patients with a predisposing factor, such as immune deficiency or a structural abnormality. Total 100 samples of urine were collected from hospitals. A very small percentage of Salmonella was found in urine of UTI infected patient. In the present study the prevalence of Salmonella was 5%. Antibiotics gentamycin, ceftizoxime, chloramphenicol & ceftriaxone are sensitive and penicillin, streptomycin are resistant to Salmonella. It concluded that, the antibiotics gentamycin, ceftizoxime, chloramphenicol and ceftriaxone are effective and are used to cure the infection because of Salmonella. Antibiotics such as penicillin, streptomycin are resistant they have no effect or minute effect.
