Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production among uropathogens is an important marker of endemicity. Materials and Methods: During the study period of 7 months, 960 urine samples were processed for significant bacteriuria. Results: Out of these 960 Urine samples 611 (63.3%) showed significant growth. Among these E.coli and klebsiella species has highest prevalence of ESBL. Maximum number of ESBL producers were seen in the age group of 40 – 60 years. Females show higher percentage of ESBL producers compared to males. Conclusion: This study reveals the prevalence of ESBL producing organisms is a significant uropathogen in our area. Constant revision of antibiotic policies with infection control interventions is suggested
