Occurrence of staphylococcus spp associated with Urinary Tract Infections among women attending Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) specialist hospital, Minna, Nigeria
Abstract
Abstract
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) refers to any part of urinary system infection caused by the presence and growth of microorganisms anywhere in the urinary tract. The infections are commonly found in women. Staphylococcus saprophyticus may infect the urinary tract.
Methods: Each patient was administered a questionnaire to evaluate the likely socio-demographic/risk factors that could be associated with the presence of Staphylococcus species in the urine of the patients. The isolation, characterization and antibiotic susceptibility profile of Staphylococcus species was determined.
Results: S.saprophyticus accounted for 27(55.1%) of the isolates, S.aureus accounted for 14 (28.6%) of the isolates, S.epidermidis accounted for 8 (10.2%) of the isolates. Most of the isolates were susceptible to Levofloxacin and Rifampin, while Erythromycin, Clarithromycin, Streptromycin, and Amoxicillin were resisted by the isolates of the Staphylococcus species. S.saprophyticus isolates were susceptible to levofloxacin (55.6%) and least susceptible to norfloxacin (11.1%). S. epidermidis were more susceptible to levofloxacin (75.0%), and resistant to Ampicillin (0.0%), while S. aureus was most susceptible to levofloxacin (78.6%) and least to ampicillin and erythromycin (14.3%). Age, occupation, marital status, and area of domicile of the patients were statistically significant to the occurrence of Staphylococcus species in the urine of patients (P˂0.5). Educational status was not…
