Journal Title: Indian Journal of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Urinary tract infections is the third most common infection experienced by humans after respiratory and gastro- intestinal infections and can occur at any time in the life of an individual. It is distressing and occasionally life threatening. Microorganisms called Chlamydia and Mycoplasma may also cause urinary tract infection in both men and women. Unlike E.coli , Chlamydia and Mycoplasma may be sexually transmitted and infections required treatment of both partners. Signs and symptoms of UTI vary depending upon on age of the patient and on which part of the urinary tract is infected.Out of all the cases studied 30 % were case were responsible for causing UTI in hospitalized patients. Thirty one percent of ambulatory patients were found to be positive for UTI.Various bacteria colonize the urine and E.coli was the most predominant bacteria. The E.coli isolated from Hospital admitted patients were found to be more resistant against the drugs as compared to bacteria isolated from ambulatory patients.
