Bacteriology Of Urinary Tract Infection and antibiotic susceptibility pattern among diabetic patients
Abstract
Urinary tract infections are amongst the most common pathogenic infections with an increasing frequency and severity in patients with diabetes mellitus. Isolates from urine samples were identified and their susceptibility to anti-microbial agents were studied. During the study, 500 urine samples from diabetic patient (305 female and 195 males) were analyzed, 416 samples had significant bacteriuria, and the prevalence rate was higher in females 295(70.9%) than males 121 (29.1%). The gram-negative isolates (72.6%) showed more resistance than gram-positive isolates (27.4%). Klebsiella sp. showed 100% resistance to all antibiotics, while S. epidermis and S. aureus showed 100% susceptibility to Gentamicin. The development of bacterial resistance against antibiotics becomes necessary to manage diabetes to reduce the chances of UTI.
