Cultural results of UTI

Aim of the study is to identify uropathogens causing urinary tract infection. To detect ESBLs, MBLs, AmpC producing isolates from urine. Cross sectional study of 300 urine samples was conducted in Mediciti Institute of Medical Sciences. The samples were processed and gram negative bacilli were identified as per Mackie McCarteny 14th edition. Detection of ESBLs, MBLs and AmpCs producing organisms among the isolates was done by both screening and confirmatory test as per CLSI guidelines.

Urinary Tract Infections are among the most common bacterial infections and account for a significant part of the workload in clinical microbiology laboratories. The rate of yield is almost same for all media i.e., Blood Agar, MacConkey gar, C.L.E.D Agar with Andrade’s indicator and Hichrome UTI Agar. The results obtained after various specific biochemical tests and other techniques, were correlated correctly with the presumptive identification results by Hicrome UTI Agar.

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.
