Pattern of bacteriology and antibiotic sensitivity in admitted patients of urinary tract infections.

Abstract

Objective: To find out frequency of type of bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity in admitted patients of urinary tract infections. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Medical Emergency Ward and Medical Unit-II, Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Period: 01-01-2023 to 30-06-2023. Methods: Eligible patients were recruited in the research. History After, physical, and urine analysis diagnosed urinary tract infection. Bacteria were tested after 24 hours. If no growth was found, material was stored for 24 hours and lab report was retrieved after 48 hours. Every antibiotic's inhibition zone was assessed and sensitivity was reported. Results: Mean age was 42.62+12.29 years, 31 (20.7%) were male, 119(79.3%) were female. E.coli was isolated in 65 (43.3%) cases, Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CONS) was isolated in 70 (46.7%), Enterococcus in 6 (4%), and S.Aureus in 9 (6%) cases. Conclusion: We concluded that Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CONS) and E.Coli as the leading type of bacteria found UTI whereas Nitrofurantoin, Ciprofloxacin, Cefotaxime and Vancomycin are highly sensitive for these pathogens.
