Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Immunology & Microbiology - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Renal failure is inability of the kidneys to perform excretory function leading to retention of nitrogenous waste products from the blood. hemodialysis is a procedure that is a substitute for many of the normal duties of the kidneys. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in dialysis patients, associated with increased rate of complications and may be difficult to diagnose due to often subclinical presentation. A hospital cross-sectional based study includes 103 Hemodialysis Patients clinically suspected cases of urinary tract infections attended different hospital in Khartoum. Midstream urine samples were collected and pure isolates of pathogenic microorganisms were characterized by colony morphology, gram-stain and standard biochemical procedures. A standard method of agar disc diffusion susceptibility testing method was used to determine susceptibility patterns of the isolates. The most common pathogens isolated were E. coli (16), S. saprophyticus (8), S. aureus (7), Klebsiella species (4), E. faecales(3), P. vulgaris (2) and S. pyogens(2).
