Abstract:

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common human bacterial infections. The frequent use of antibiotics is associated with increased resistance of many bacterial agents to the treatment.Materials and Methods: A total of 9456 urine specimens were collected from patients referring to Pol-e Dokhtar health centers. All urine samples were inoculated on blood agar plates (BAP) and eosin methylene blue (EMB) agar. Those specimens positive for selected pathogen were finally identified. The antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance patterns of the UTI pathogens to common antibiotics were determined using disk diffusion method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.Results: Out of 9456 investigated urine samples, 1036 samples (10.95%) were positive, of which 823 samples (79.4%) belonged to female subjects and 213 samples (20.6%) belonged to males. The most common identified urine tract pathogens were Escherichia coli (69.4%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (15.15%) and Staphylococcus aureus (7.05%). Also, co-trimoxazole (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) displayed the highest antibiotic resistance (58.1%) and nitrofurantoin (90.1%) and gentamicin (88%) were shown to be the most frequent cause of sensitivity.Conclusion: The findings of our study demonstrate that E. coli is the most common UTI pathogen. Given the high antibiotic resistance of co-trimoxazole, it is recommended to avoid indiscriminate consumption of this antibiotic and perform antibiogram tests for the treatment of UTIs.

Epidemiology of Urinary Tract Infection and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern in Patients Referred to Amiralmomenin Hospital of Gerash City in 2018

Background and Aims: Urinary tract infections are one of the most common human infections seen in all age groups and both sexes. Inappropriate use of antibiotics to treat urinary tract infection causes the resistance of the pathogens to the drug. The present study aimed to determine the frequency of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and antibiotic resistance patterns in patients with uri...

Investigation of prevalence and antibiotic resistance pattern of bacteria isolated from urinary tract infections in women referred to Ghaem hospital in Mashhad

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most commonly problematic bacterial infections, especially among women. Increasing drug resistance requires the determination of an antibiotic resistance pattern for proper treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence and antibiotic resistance against bacterial agents isolated from urinary tract infections in women ...
