Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: One hundred - twenty samples collected from patients infected with acute and chronic urinary tract infection in different hospitals of Wasit Province. Seventy five bacterial isolates, which were then, diagnosed using the biochemical and API 20 tests. These bacteria were diagnosed as Escherichia coli (25%) Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.6%), K.oxytoca (4%), Enterobacter aerogenes (9.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8%), Proteus mirabilis (5.3%), Serratia marcescens (4%), Acintobacter baumannii (2.6%), and Citrobacter freundii (I.3%). The positive isolates of the gram stain representedStaphylococcus aureus (12%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (6.6%), and Enterococcus fecalis (2.6%). The sensitivity of the isolates of 13 antibiotics was tested. The results showed a variance as far as theirresistance to these antibiotics. Imipenem is the most effective antibiotic on the studied bacteria isolates. On the other hands, bacteria isolate showed high resistance to Penicillins and Cephalosporins antibiotics represented Cefotaxime (62%), Cephalexin (74%), Amoxicillin (77%), and Piperacillin (64%).
