Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Urinary Tract Infections in Syrian Patients: A Comprehensive Analysis
Abstract
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent bacterial infections, affecting millions worldwide, particularly women.This project aims to investigate the causes of UTIs, their diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies, with a focus on antibiotic resistance and alternative therapies.The study involves a comprehensive literature review, laboratory analysis of bacterial strains such as Escherichia coli, and evaluation of current diagnostic tools, including urine culture and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).Additionally, this research explores preventive measures such as personal hygiene and the use of probiotics to reduce recurrence of infections.The findings emphasize the necessity for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatments to combat antibiotic resistance and improve therapeutic outcomes.The study also aims to highlight local resistance patterns of bacteria responsible for UTIs, which are among the most common bacterial infections, focusing on the analysis of causative organisms and their antibiotic resistance profiles.A descriptive analytical methodology was employed over the course of one year, involving the examination of 550 urine samples from patients at two major hospitals in Damascus and various private laboratories, encompassing both hospital-acquired and community-acquired cases.The study included precise laboratory tests utilizing bacterial culture, biochemical assays, and antibiotic susceptibility testing via the Kirby-Bauer method on…
