Background: The main aim of the present study is to investigate the differences in clinical, microbiological, characteristics of Urinary tract infection between diabetic and non-diabetic patients and influence of diabetes on the spectrum of URO pathogens and the antimicrobial resistance in patients with urinary tract infections.Methods: The present study is conducted from February 2018-April 2019 in Narayana general hospital. A total of 181 diabetics and 124 non-diabetics are included. A thorough history examination investigations done. The final data was analysed using statistical package SPSS. The percentages in different categories were compared using chi square test and means were compared using student ‘t’ test.Results: The mean age among diabetic and non-diabetic patients was 60.2+/-13.79 years and 53.47+/-18.56 years. Fever is the most common presenting symptom. BPH was the most common predisposing factor in both diabetes and non-diabetes followed by indwelling catherization but there was no statistically significant difference. Diabetics with UTI majority (87.14%) had glyco HBA1C >6.5% with p<0.001. The prevalence of recurrent UTI is higher in diabetics compared to non-diabetics however difference was not statistically significant. Recurrent UTI is higher in females in both diabetics and non-diabetics. The presence of E coli is significantly higher in diabetics compared to non- diabetics. The antimicrobial resistance pattern was similar in both diabetic and no-diabetic subjects in E coli with maximum sensitivity to meropenem and least to ampicillin and there is no statistically significant difference.Conclusion: The host factors found to be associated with UTI are female sex, presence of diabetes, poor glycemic control, presence of fever. No correlation was noted with age, duration of diabetes and type of treatment for diabetes. An elevated HBA1C correlates with occurrence of UTI. Escherichia coli (E. coli) was the most frequent uropathogen. The resistance of uropathogens to antibiotics are similar in patients with and without diabetes and non-diabetes.

The incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) is common in both diabetic and non diabetic patients. Since the microorganisms causing UTI vary in their susceptibility to antimicrobials from place to place and time to time, hence constant screening of trends and susceptibility pattern of predominant   organisms against antimicrobials is essential. The study aims to determine the spectrum of  ropathogens and antibiotic sensitivity pattern in both diabetic and non diabetic patients with clinically suspected UTI .A prospective cross sectional study was conducted during period of February 2013 to July 2013 among 90 diabetic and 90 non diabetic patients attending Dhulikhel Hospital-Kathmandu University Hospital,  Dhulikhel, Kavre (DH-KUH). All samples and isolates were investigated by standard laboratory rocedures. A total of 55 (30.5%) samples showed significant growth. No significant difference among culture positivity rate was noted between diabetic and non diabetic patients (34.5% Vs 26.7%). Escherichia coli was the most frequent organism (64.5% in diabetic and 66.7% non diabetic) followed by Klebsiella sps (22.6% in diabetic and 12.5% in non diabetic). Gentamycin and nitrofurantoin were highly sensitive to E. coli isolated in diabetic patients among the tested antimicrobials followed by  otrimoxazole, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. Least sensitivity rate was observed with ampicillin and cephalexin. However, no difference was noted on the sensitivity pattern of the antimicrobials among E. coli isolated between diabetic and non diabetic patients. In this study high proportion of gram negative bacilli with predominant uropathogen being E. coli was noted. Irrespective of the status of diabetes, Staphylococcus sps and Pseudomonas sps were not isolated from UTI patients in our study. The isolation of organisms and their resistance pattern was almost similar between diabetic and non diabetic patients.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jmmihs.v1i4.11998Journal of Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health SciencesVol. 1, Issue 4, 2015Page : 24-28

Background: T2DM patients are more likely to have UTIs caused by resistant organisms such as ESBLs producing bacteria. Challenging reliable identification and prompt characterization of in-vitro susceptibilities of these bacteria are the first steps of deciding the appropriate antimicrobial therapy for UTIs caused by them. Objectives: To isolate and identify E. coli and K. pneumoniae from urine of T2DM patients with UTIs, to determine antibiotic resistance pattern among isolates, and to identify ESBLs production phenotypically and genotypically. Material and method: All samples were cultured on Cystine-Lactose-Electrolyte-Deficient Agar medium (CLED) by using calibrated loop. Growth of 100 colonies or more, i.e. 105 colony forming units (CFU)/mL urine was considered as signifi- cant bacteriuria. Isolation and identification were done according to standard method. All isolates were tested for antibiotic susceptibility testing by the disc diffusion method according to CLSI guidelines. Phenotypic detection of ESBLs was done by double-disk synergy test. Genotypic detection of blaTEM, blaSHV and blaCTX-M genes by using PCR. Results: Results of this study showed that E. coli and K. pneumoniae were the dominant bacterial isolates, they constituted 103 (91.2%) out of 113 urine isolates. E. coli (58. 4%) K. pneumoniae (32.7%), Enterococcus spp. (4.4%), Proteus spp. (2.7%) and Pseu- domonas spp. (1.8%). About 25 (24.3%) out of 103 E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates were ESBLs positive by DDST, and 22 (88.0%) out of them had ESBLs encoding genes by conventional PCR. The most common gene detected was blaTEM (59.1%), followed by blaSHV (27.3%). CTX-M had not been detected in any of testes isolates. Conclusion: blaTEM and blaSHV genes were detected in 22 out of 25 ESBLs producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates phenotypically detected by DDST. blaTEM was found to be the predominant gene (59.1%), while blaCTX-Mene was not detected in any of tested isolates.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a predisposing condition to different infections especially the complicated urinary tract infection (UTI). The susceptibility pattern of organisms in diabetics is different from their counterparts. So, there is always a dilemma while administering empirical regimen for UTI in diabetics. The study aims to find the common organisms implicated in the UTI in diabetic patients and their sensitivity pattern.Methods: Properly collected urine specimen from all the diabetic (cases) and non-diabetic (controls) patients included in this study was processed. Sensitivity pattern and extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) production for the isolated uropathogens was noted.Results: E. coli was the most common organism isolated from both 68 cases and 85 controls in this study. Most of UTI patients with diabetes, 46 (67.7 %) had uncontrolled blood sugar level. Diabetics are more prone for catheter associated UTI (CAUTI) and fungal UTI. Most of the E coli and Atypical E coli isolated were ESBL positive for the diabetic patients (60.5%) than that for the non-diabetics (40.4%). Antimicrobial resistance pattern was similar in both the groups with maximum patients’ sensitivity to tigecycline, colistin, fosphomycin and least susceptibility to cefixime. Both E. coli and Klebsiella also showed high resistance to the fluoroquinolones.Conclusions: E. coli is the predominant uropathogen for both the diabetic & non-diabetic cases. But diabetics are more prone to get ESBL positive UTI. CAUTI and the fungal UTI are more common in diabetics. Diabetic condition does not affect the antimicrobial resistance pattern of uropathogens. But their rising resistance to fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins is a matter of concern while prescribing empiric regimen.

Background and objective. Knowledge of local antimicrobial resistance pattern is very important for evidence-based empirical antibiotic prescribing. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence and the antimicrobial resistance pattern of the main bacteria responsible for uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) in Kyiv region (Ukraine), throughout a ten year period, in order to establish an appropriate empirical therapy. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the etiological spectrum and antimicrobial resistance of uropathogens in urine samples isolated over the 10-year period, 2005 to 2015, in a single center was performed. Results. In total 380positive urine samples processed at our laboratory of which 193/380 (51 %) had E. coli as the infecting organism. Although E. coli was, as usual, the most common pathogen implicated in UTI, it were observed increasing the share of Enterococcus spp. - 82/380 (21.6%). Ampicillin and trimethoprim were the least-active agents against E. coli with resistance rates of 75% and 70%, respectively. Significant trends of increasing resistance over the 10-year period were identified for trimethoprim, fluoroquinolones ІІ and III generations, penicillins, and carbapenems. Nitrofuran derivative remains a reasonable empirical antibiotic choice in this community with a 10-year resistance rate of 8.3 %. Was determined that recurrent UTI is an independent risk factor for bacterial multidrug-resistance. Conclusions. Over the last 10 years, the proportions of fluoroquinolones resistant E. coli and multidrug-resistant bacteria have significantly increased. The fluoroquinolones shall not be used in the empirical treatment of uncomplicated UTI in Kyiv region patients. For the empirical treatment of uncomplicated UTI in women should be used nitrofuran derivative (furazydyn K). If required of parenteral administration of antibiotics should be used cephalosporins IVgeneration. This data will enable evidence-based empirical prescribing which will ensure more effective treatment and lessen the emergence of resistant uropathogens in the community.

Abstract Objectives To assess whether resistance estimates obtained from sentinel surveillance for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) differ from routinely collected laboratory community UTI data. Methods All patients aged ≥18 years presenting to four sentinel general practices with a suspected UTI, from 13 November 2017 to 12 February 2018, were asked to provide urine specimens for culture and susceptibility. Specimens were processed at the local diagnostic laboratory. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted using automated methods. We calculated the proportion of Escherichia coli isolates that were non-susceptible (according to contemporaneous EUCAST guidelines) to trimethoprim, nitrofurantoin, cefalexin, ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, overall and by age group and sex, and compared this with routine estimates. Results Sentinel practices submitted 740 eligible specimens. The specimen submission rate had increased by 28 specimens per 1000 population per year (95% CI 21–35). Uropathogens were isolated from 23% (169/740) of specimens; 67% were E. coli (113/169). Non-susceptibility of E. coli to trimethoprim was 28.2% (95% CI 20.2–37.7) on sentinel surveillance (33.4%; 95% CI 29.5–37.6 on routine data) and to nitrofurantoin was 0.9% (95% CI 0–5.7) (1.5%; 95% CI 0.7–3.0 on routine data). Conclusions Routine laboratory data resulted in a small overestimation in resistance (although the difference was not statistically significant) and our findings suggest that it provides an adequate estimate of non-susceptibility to key antimicrobials in community-acquired UTIs in England. This study does not support the need for ongoing local sentinel surveillance.

Background: The study was designed to provide account of etiological agents of urinary tract infection in pediatric patients and the antimicrobial resistance pattern plus biofilm producing profile of the isolates.Methods: The prospective study was conducted in Alka Hospital, Nepal with 353 clean catch urine samples from children. It was obtained during July 2014 to January 2015 which were first cultured by semi-quantitative method, followed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing and biofilm production assay on Congo red agar. Multidrug- resistance, extensively drug- resistance and pandrug- resistance among isolates were considered as per international consensus.Results: Out of 353 samples, 64 (18.13%) showed positive growth in culture, confirming urinary tract infection. E. coli, 44 (68.8%) was the predominant organism followed by Klebsiella spp. 6 (14.1%). Most E. coli were sensitive to amikacin (93.2%) followed by nitrofurantoin (86.4%), and highly resistant to ampicillin (95.5%). Of 64 isolates, 23 (35.93%) were found to be multidrug- resistant strains. Biofilm was produced by 36 (56.25%) isolates.Conclusions: This study showed higher biofilm production and resistance to in-use antibiotics rendering ineffective for empirical use. Regular surveillance of resistance patterns should be done to regulate multidrug- resistant bugs and to ensure effective management of urinary tract infection in children in a tertiary care setups.Keywords: AMR; antimicrobial resistance; biofilm; urinary tract infection; UTI.

Background: Diabetic foot infections can cause substantial morbidity. The role of Diabetes mellitus in the antimicrobial resistance of pathogens in patients with foot infections is not well clarified. So, we compared the profile of antibiotic resistance in diabetic and non-diabetic foot ulcer infections. Objectives were to compare the antimicrobial resistance pattern in diabetic and non-diabetic lower limb infections.Methods: T Pus was isolated in 50 Diabetic and 50 non-diabetic foot ulcer infections. The organisms were isolated on specific media and antibiotic susceptibility was done by using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.Results: The most frequent causative organism in diabetic and non-diabetics is Pseudomonas 27.5% vs 27.1%, Staphylococcus 24.1% vs 27.1%, Klebsiella 24.1% vs 22.03%, E. coli 10.3% vs 10.16%, Proteus 5.17% vs 5.08%. No significant differences in resistance rates to Amikacin, Penicillin, Ofloxacin, Vancomycin, Piperacillin + Tazobactum were observed between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. There is significant difference in resistance to Ampicillin (p=0.017).Conclusions: Diabetes per se does not seem to influence the susceptibility pattern to antimicrobials in our group of patients with foot ulcer infections.

Urinary tract infections (UTI) cause a great number of morbidity and mortality. These infections are serious complications in pregnancy, patients with diabetes, polycystic kidneys disease, sickle cell anaemia, kidney transplant and in patients with functional or structural anomalies of the urinary tract. The aim of this investigation was to determine a dominant causative agents of UTI and some of the clinical and laboratory characteristics of acute community-acquired UTI in adult hospitalised patients. We studied 200 adult patients with acute community-acquired UTI hospitalised in the Clinic for Infectious Diseases Tuzla from January 2006 to December 2007. The patients were divided into two groups: a group of patients with E. coli UTI (147) and a group of patients with non-E. coli UTI (53). In these two groups, the symptoms and signs of illness, blood test and urine analysis results were analysed. Our results have shown that the patients with E. coli UTI frequently had fever higher than 38,5 degrees C (p<0,0001), chills (p=0,0349), headache (p=0,0499), cloudy urine (p<0,0001), proteinuria (p=0,0011) and positive nitrite-test (p=0,0002). The patients with non-E. coli UTI frequently had fever lower than 38,5 degrees C (p<0,0001) and urine specific gravity <1015 (p=0,0012). There was no significant difference in blood test results between patients with E. coli and non-E. coli UTI. These clinical and laboratory findings can lead us to early etiological diagnosis of these UTI before urine culture detection of causative agents, which takes several days. Early etiological diagnosis of the E. coli and non-E. coli UTI is necessary for an urgent administration of appropriate empirical antibiotic treatment. This is very important in prevention of irreversible kidney damage, prolonged treatment, complications, as well as recidives and chronicity of the illness.
