Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern

Background: Since antibiotic resistance of uropathogens has gradually been rising, knowledge of antimicrobial resistance pattern of Escherichia coli (Esch. coli), the predominant  pathogen of urinary tract infection (UTI), is important in selecting empirical antimicrobial  therapy.Objectives: To find out the common organisms causing UTI with their antimicrobial  susceptibility pattern in Enam Medical College Hospital.Materials and Methods: This study  was carried out in the department of Microbiology, Enam Medical College Hospital, Savar,  Dhaka between January 2010 to June 2011 to see the antimicrobial resistance pattern of Esch.  coli in urine sample. A total of 512 urine samples were studied from clinically suspected UTI  cases irrespective of age and sex. Esch. coli were isolated and antibiogram of the isolates were  done.Results: The results of antibiogram revealed the resistance pattern of the isolated Esch. coli to ampicillin (93.94%), cefradine (70.71%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (48.49%),  azithromycin (41.42%), ciprofloxacin (39.40%), ceftazidime (35.56%), nitrofurantoin  (29.30%), ceftriaxone (10.11%), gentamicin (7.08%) and imipenem (3.04%).Conclusion: It  can be inferred that our findings will render useful information to clinicians in determining the  appropriately directed antimicrobial regimen when given empirically.

Urinary Tract Infection is alarming problem worldwide due to the intensity of antimicrobial resistance. Escherichia coli is the most predominant organism in UTI. This study was planned to evaluate demographic parameters, the prevalence of E. coli, and antimicrobial resistance patterns among E. coli isolates from UTI patients in Nishtar Hospital of Multan from January to June 2018. A total of 350 mid-stream urine samples were collected from different patients having age group from 25 to 60 years and processed by standard laboratory procedures. Out of 350 samples, 100 samples were observed as critical bacteremia. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia were the most persistent (47 % and 19 % individually) among the Gram-negative pathogens followed by S. aureus (14 %), Enterobacter spp. (11 %) and Candida (9 %) respectively. The incidence of UTI was found higher in 25-35 age groups. The prevalence of UTI with E. coli as an infectious agent was 72 % in females, and 28 % in males. The prevalence of E. coli was more in rural areas (70 %) than in urban areas (26 %). The antimicrobial testing against E. coli showed the highest resistance to amoxicillin (65.9 %) and ciprofloxacin (38.2 %), whereas highly sensitive rate observed against Fosfomycin (FOS) (95.7 %), Gentamicin (GEN) (89.3 %), and Nitrofurantoin (NIT) (85 %) respectively. The increased resistance against ampicillin and ciprofloxacin was observed in Multan have a great emerging problem so there is a need for effective prevention strategies for the E. coli drug resistance and successful surveillance required to be improved.
