Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections occurring in pregnancy. To study bacteriological profile and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of UTI pathogens in antenatal women attending tertiary care teaching Hospital. Present observational study was conducted among the pregnant women attending government tertiary care teaching Hospital, Hyderabad from the period January 2018 to July 2018. A total of 1350 freshly voided “mid-stream” urine samples were collected and processed according to standard bacteriological techniques. Results: 216 (16%) were found to have significant growth. The bacterial pathogens isolated were Escherichia coli (54.6%) followed by Klebsiellaspp (39.8%) Staphylococcus aureus (3.3 %) and CONS (2.3%). Gram-negative bacteria were sensitive to Norfloxacin(95%),Nitrofurantoin (91.5%)andGentamicin (81.4%). staphylococcus aureus was 100% sensitive to Amoxyclav and Norfloxacin. All antenatal women should be screened for UTI during antenatal period which can prevent serious complications and lead to healthy outcomes for both mother and baby.
