Antibiogram of bacterial uropathogens

Multidrug resistance (MDR) among uropathogens is a global public health problem (Mathai et al., 2001). In UTI cases there is a need to start treatment before the final microbiological results are available. Area-specific monitoring studies aimed to gain knowledge about the type of pathogens responsible for UTIs and their resistance patterns may help the clinician to choose the right empirical treatment (Stamm et al., 2001).

In the context of the present clinical scenario urinary tract infections are to be dealt with most frequently. The non judicious haphazard use of antibiotics is to be blamed for coming into existence of resistant microorganisms. A myriad of microorganisms cause urinary tract infections. Moreover the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the isolated uropathogens is changing continuously.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections encountered in clinical practice. The knowledge of etiology and antibiogram of uropathogens helps in starting empirical treatment till the results of antibiotic susceptibility is awaited. Therefore this two year retrospective study was undertaken to determine the bacteriology and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of UTIs in a tertiary care hospital. Urine samples from patients suspected of having UTI were processed according to standard microbiological techniques.
