[Antibiotic-resistant microorganisms isolated from the urine of patients with suspected urinary tract infections]

In our study 5331 urine specimen have been examined. In 22 of the total 2 types of bacteria have been isolated and in the cultures of 1167 patients colony counts over than 100.000/ml. have been determined. These are 599 Escherichia coli, 161 Hemolytic Escherichia coli, 104 Klebsiella, 93 Proteus, 81 Pseudomonas, 65 Staphylococcus epidermidis, 44 Staphylococcus aureus, 24 Enterobacter, 18 Enterococcus. 602 of the infected patients were women and 565 were men. According to antibiogram results microorganisms were mostly resistant to Tetracycline (97.7%), subsequently to Ampicillin (87.5%) and to Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (72.8%). Ofloxacin (97.7%), Ceftriaxone (86.4%) and Cefotaxime (86.1%) were found effective on these organisms.
