Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profile

Infections of the urinary tract are one of the most prevalent bacterial infections in developing countries. It is a challenge that is most often encountered in pediatrics. Uncontrolled use of antimicrobial drugs has led to the development of drug-resistant organisms. Hence, this study was aimed at isolating, characterizing, and identifying the pathogens associated with urinary tract infection (UTI) in children attending Tertiary Health Care Centre in Enugu metropolis and to determine their antimicrobial susceptibility profiles. Urine samples were collected from 260 patients with signs and symptoms suggestive of urinary tract infection (UTI). The children were seen in children out-patients, children emergency departments of the hospital, and pediatric ward. Their ages ranged from 0-17 years. The urine samples were analyzed in the laboratory using standard bacteriological methods. Antibiotic sensitivity of the isolates was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. Of the 260 urine samples, significant bacterial agents were recorded in 98(37.7%). Escherichia coli ranked highest with 30(32.6%) followed by Klebsiella spp. 17(18.5%) and the least was Enterococcus fecalis 1(1.1%). Gender distribution showed a higher prevalence in females (p <0.05). The highest positive result was obtained from children between 0-5years. Most of the isolates were sensitive to Imipenem, Nitrofurantoin, Ceftriaxone, and Ciprofloxacin but resistant to Augmentin and Amoxicillin. There is a need to regularly monitor the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of these etiological agents to keep track of the effectiveness of certain therapeutic agents.

Around the world, there is no population clear from urinary tract infection (UTI), particularly among women. UTI is considered the most predominant bacterial infection. This study aimed to detect the incidence of the most common major uropathogens in patients severe from urinary tract infection with antibiotic sensitivity tests that assist urologist doctors for appropriate antimicrobial empirical therapy.Methods: This study was carried in a private laboratory in Babil city, Iraq from May 2019 to May 2020. Totally 70 individuals suffering from clear symptoms of UTI, as well as, 20 healthy persons participated in this study as a control group. Then, the standard microbiological methods carried out to isolate and identify bacterial species. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed using different antimicrobial discs by applying the Kirby&ndash;Bauer disc diffusion method.Results: Totally, 90 specimens were obtained from them 20 control group, 19 with no growth, and 51 patients with bacterial growth distributed as 43 (83%) females and 8 (17%) males. E. coli were the most common predominant organisms. All isolates were showed a high rate of resistance to evaluated cephalosporins 100% and 82% to cefotaxime and ceftriaxone respectively, while very low resistance recorded in Aminoglycosides 20% and 13% to Gentamicin and amikacin respectively. Most age group infected with UTI was 21-40 years old.Conclusion: The current study showed an increasing burden of urinary tract infection caused by various bacteria implicated in UTI that causes changeable sensitivity to various antimicrobial agents. Therefore, in clinical use appropriate medications should be selected based on the data obtained from antimicrobial susceptibility tests.

Abstract Back ground: Urinary tract infection are one of the most common bacterial infections in the community and in the hospital. Nowadays, little is known about the status of community and hospital acquired urinary tract infection, antimicrobial susceptibility pattern and associated factors among urinary tract infection patients in Ethiopia, particularly in our study area. Methods A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out in Dessie referral hospital. A total of 422 urine samples were enrolled using systematic random sampling technique. All isolates were identified by standard microbiological techniques and their antibiotic susceptibility was done by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Data was entered using Epi data version 3.1 and analyzed by SPSS software version 20. P- Value < 0.05 at 95% CI was considered as statistically significant. Result Of 422 urine samples processed 100 (23.7%) yielded bacterial isolates. About50(30.7%) and 50(19.3%) samples from hospitalized and community showed significant bacteriuria respectively. E. coli 44/103(42.7%), predominated across the two groups followed by S. aureus 25/103(24.3%), CONs,14/103(13.5%), Klebsiella spps 7/103(6.78), proteus spps 3/103(2.91), and Entrococcus spps 3/103 (2.91%). Pseudomonas spps 3/103 (2.91), Citrobacter spps 2/103(1.94%) and Acinetobacter Spp 1/103(0.999), which were isolated from only the hospitalized samples. Meropenem susceptibly was 100% in both study groups and Ampicillin resistance was documented as 83.3–100% and 76.9–100% in hospitalized and community acquired respectively. Among risk factors previous use of antibiotics, female gender, Age, Diabetics, catheterization were associated with the infection. Conclusion The present study revealed that slightly high prevalence of urinary tract infection. High antimicrobial resistance was observed to most antimicrobial drugs tested. Meropenem and Nitrofurantoin were the most active drugs for urinary tract infection. Empirical selection of antimicrobial agents should be based on antibiotic sensitivity pattern of uropathogens that prevalent in that area. Female sex, age, previous use of antibiotics, catheterization and diabetics were at risk of urinary tract infection.
