Abstract
Urinary tract infections(UTI) is the most common bacterial infection prevalent in both males and females and contribute to second most common nosocomial infection raising the hospital stay, morbidity and various complications related to it. Urethral catheters serve as a niche for proliferation and multiplication of bacteria’s and biofilm produced by them provide resistance to antimicrobials and they spread elsewhere. This cross sectional study was conducted on 1008 adult patients admitted to general medicine ward in Kolkata.The age of patients varied from 14 to 102 years and study excluded those not willing to participate in the study.Our study revealed that in total 1008 patients the prevalence rate of UTI was 23.4 percent. In them type of UTI were maximum of LUTI type 78.4%, followed by UUTI 14.4% and Urosepsis7.2%. Among total uropathogens isolated E.coli (44%) was most prevalent in all sex and age group independent of risk factors diabetes and catheters, followed by Klebsiella (14%), Enterobacter (9.74%) and Citrobacter (7.20%).gram negative were 87.7% and gram positives were 12.29%.The chance of infection in catheterised patients is greater with MRSA, Pseudomonas and Staph aureus. Although the results show the development of UTI does not rely solely on health professionals’ practices, the authors conclude these professionals can have an important role in the prevention of UTI reducing the number of risk factors
