Objective: To document the distribution of antimicrobial resistance patterns community-acquired uropathogens. Materials and Methods: Outpatient microbiology data urine culture results in Songklanagarind Hospital between January to December 2019 were reviewed. Results: This study included 649 episodes positive cultures 598 patients, which 80.7% symptomatic cases. The elderly (median 63 ± IQR 26 ...

Background: UTI is one of the commonest domiciliary and nosocomial bacterial infection, especially affecting the females. Nowadays antibiotic resistance among uropathogens is an emerging problem in treatment of UTI. Periodic assessment of antimicrobial susceptibility among the microorganisms will be fruitful in treating UTI. Aims: To study and assess the sensitivity/resistance pattern among E.c...

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a common medical problem affecting the general population and thus commonly encountered in medical practice, with the global burden of UTIs at about 150 million people. Because uropathogens largely originate from colonic flora, they are easy to predict, and this is the rationale for empirical treatment in Community Acquired-UTI (CA-UTIs). With the i...

Urinary tract infections are one of the most commonly encountered infections in clinical practice. Due to the emergence of and increase in urinary tract bacteria that are resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, penicillin, cephalosporins, and fluoroquinolones, selection of appropriate antibiotics in treatment of these infections is important. In addition, the emergence of extended-spectrum ...

A miniaturized 2-h system (RAPIDEC UR; API System, la Balme-les-Grottes, Montalieu-Vercieu, France) that uses nine enzymatic tests for the diagnosis of most uropathogens was challenged with 330 strains. With few exceptions (Citrobacter, Enterobacter, and Providencia spp., Morganella morganii, and staphylococci other than Staphylococcus saprophyticus), there were distinct patterns that allowed a...

Aims: The aims of this study were identification the causative organisms, uropathogens’ resistance, and extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing bacteria in primary recurrent urinary tract infection.
 Study Design: A retrospective included Omani children, less than 14 years, with any documented Place Duration Study: Sultan Qaboos University Hospital between September 2008 August 2012.

BACKGROUND Antibiotic resistance represents a serious global health threat to public health, so infections such as pneumonia and urinary tract infection (UTI) are becoming harder to treat. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an action plan to restrain the problem of antibiotic resistance. One approach in UTI control could be the use of lactobacilli because these indigenous inhabitants in huma...

Abstract Background Patients with prostate enlargement have an increased risk of recurrent urinary tract infections. This study determined the resistance profile bacteria causing infection (UTI) and magnitude multidrug-resistant (MDR) among patients symptomatic in a tertiary hospital Dar es Salaam. Methods cross-sectional was conducted at Muhimbili National Hospital between August 2021 January ...
