    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Clinical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, necessitating regular surveillance of causative pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance patterns.
    • Understanding local etiological profiles is crucial for effective empirical treatment strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the common bacterial uropathogens and assess their antibiotic susceptibility patterns in mid-stream urine samples.
    • To provide data for guiding antimicrobial therapy in a hospital setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Culturing of 9892 mid-stream urine samples over two years.
    • Identification of bacterial isolates using standard microbiological techniques.
    • Antimicrobial susceptibility testing using a panel of commonly prescribed antibiotics.

    Main Results:

    • Significant bacterial growth was observed in 23.5% of samples.
    • The most prevalent uropathogen was Escherichia coli (40%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16%) and Klebsiella aerogenes (11%).
    • Antibiotic sensitivity testing showed no distinct resistance or susceptibility patterns across the tested agents.

    Conclusions:

    • Escherichia coli is the predominant cause of UTIs in this patient population.
    • The lack of distinct antibiotic sensitivity patterns highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and potentially revised treatment guidelines.
