Frequency of Common Bacteria and Antibiotic Sensitivity in Patients with Indwelling Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections

Objective: Examine the prevalence of common bacteria and their antibiotic susceptibility in individuals with urinary tract infections caused by indwelling catheters. Study Design: Cross-sectional descriptive research. Place Duration study: From January 30, 2021, to July 29, researchers from Department Medicine at Muhammad Teaching Hospital Peshawar, collected data for this study. Materials Methods: The proportion patients Enterococcus spp. infections2 was 5.4%, a 95% confidence interval 3.5% margin error using WHO software, they monitored 179 individuals. In addition, non-probabilistic sampling method based on sequence samples applied. Results: Based our data, median age 47 years old (with standard deviation ±2.15), 33% participants were male 67% female. Escherichia coli detected 37% catheter linked infection, Staphylococcus epidermidis 18%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 16%, Klebsiella pneumonia 20%, Proteus mirabilis 3%, 6%. Conclusion: (37%) most prevalent bacterium found catheter-associated infections, followed (20%), (18%), (16 percent). Keywords: Infection catheter, catheterization, CAUTI.
