Susceptibility antibiotics of bacteria causing urinary tract infection in pregnant women infect with diabetic
Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus predisposes the genitourinary system and weakens the host's immune system which leads to chances of being infected such as the UTI.Objective: To determine the bacterial profile and antibiotic resistance profile of urinary tract infections (UTIs) among pregnant woman with Diabetes mellitus (DM).Methodology: The samples of urine were collected from 201 type 2 DM women with confirmed UTI.Steriely and biologically.The susceptibility of antibiotics was done on the isolated bacterial species through the use of the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method.Results: The study revealed that pregnant women between the age of 18-30 years had a relatively high likelihood of developing a UTI than the 30 + group.Out of the participants who were sampled 41.6% were found to have pathogenic bacterial that infect humans.Relative to the antibiotic sensitivity, 89.0% of the isolated organisms were highly sensitive to Nitrofurantoin and 84.5% were sensitive to Gentamicin.Additionally, the following antibiotics exhibited varying levels of effectiveness against the isolates: Cefixime= 83.6% Amikacin= 84.0%, Levofloxacin= 77.2%, Co-trimoxazole= 72.1%, Ceftriaxone= 70.8%, Azithromycin= 62.0%.However, other antibiotics were less sensitive and included; Ciprofloxacin with sensitivity of 47.2%, Ceftazidime with sensitivity of 41.3%, and Amoxicillin with a sensitivity of 27.5%.However, Conclusion: This study also shows the significance of studying the bacterial profile and their…
