Microbiological profile & antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of isolates causing urinary tract infections in rural eastern Uttar Pradesh
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Urinary tract infections are the most common infections caused by bacterial pathogens. Knowledge of etiology & antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the organism causing urinary tract infection is essential as nowadays resistance towards antimicrobials is very common & it is difficult to treat with the limited treatment options. The study was conducted in Azamgarh from November 2016 to May 2018, to know the prevalence of various microorganisms causing urinary tract infections & its different susceptibility pattern to antibiotics. Urine sample was collected & processed aseptically in sterile condition & observed for growth of microorganisms. Total 745 samples were collected among that 328 samples (44%) came out as positive. 86% positive samples were from the female patients while 14% samples came from male patients. Maximum growth shown by the Escherechia coli (41%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (18%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12%), Staphylococcus aureus (10%), Proteus spp (07%), Candida (06%), Enterococcus spp (04%), Enterobacter spp (02%) & Citrobacter spp (01%). Isolated microorganisms showed maximum resistance to Ampicillin & Ciprofloxacin while maximum sensitivity to Amikacin, Imipenem & Piperacillin. S.aureus showed maximum sensitivity to Vancomycin. The erretic & indiscriminate use of antibiotics leads to MDR bacteria . It is very important to treat patients with empiric antibiotic treatment & prevent the dissemination of the resistant bacteria as well as health education also plays very major role to prevent urinary tract infection in community.
