Abstract Objective
This study was conducted to assess the pattern of uro- pathogens causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) and to determine their pattern of antimicrobial resistance.
Methods
It was an institution based cross-sectional study and conducted on 2630 urine samples. The clinical samples were cultured and bacterial strains were identified by Routine biochemical tests for primary identification of uro-pathogens in the department of microbiology. The antibiotic susceptibility profile of different bacterial isolates was studied according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines to detect MDR, XDR and PDR bacteria. Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) 16 and Microsoft excel were used to analyse data.
Results: 421 samples were culture growth positive out of 2630 samples received from different department accounting 16% of growth positive . Escherichia coli was the predominant organism isolated from urine (37.07%) followed by enterococcus spp 24.94% klebsiella spp 21.61% . More XDR than MDR and 60.95% of the Enterococcus isolates were XDR followed by Esch coli and Klebsiella spp respectively . 26.19% isolates of staphylococcus were found to be MRSA strain and all are Vancomycin and Linezolid sensitive. Pseudomonas spp isolated very few but maximum isolates were XDR and ESBL producers .
Conclusion ; Escherichia coli , Enterococcus and Klebsiella were the predominant pathogens causing urinary tract infection and have different resistant pattern. Pseuodomonas , although isolated infrequently, demonstrates high resistance and ESBL producers. These findings underscore the importance of emphasizing infection control measures and judicious antibiotics use to prevent the development of resistance strains in bacterial isolates .
