Background and objectives: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is associated with multiplication of organisms in urinary tract and is defined by the presence of more than 105 organisms per ml in a midstream sample of urine (MSU). UTI is most commonly acquired bacterial infection in ambulatory and hospitalized populations. E.coli is the most predominant organism to colonise the urethral meatus and perineum before ascending to the bladder. Drug resistance of pathogens is a serious medical problem, because of very fast arise and spread of mutant strains that are insusceptible to medical treatment of UTI. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine the common pathogenic bacteria causing UTI and to determine their antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Material and Methods: Mid stream urine samples of the UTI suspected pateints were collected in the Mid Stream Urine (MSU) samples were collected in the sterile clean dry wide mouthed bottle. Standard protocol was followed to isolate and identify organism which was followed by disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity tests. Results: A total of 100 samples were collected. Out of 100 samples, 25 samples showed a significant growth E.coli, Citrobacter diversus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus were isolated. E.coli (84%) was found to be the most prevalent causing UTI. Conclusion: UTI was found more common in female than male and E.coli was found to be main causes of UTI. Ciprofloxacin showed more effective drugs in the treatment of UTI. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jmcjms.v2i1.11393   Janaki Medical College Journal of Medical Sciences (2014) Vol. 2 (1): 28-34

Background : Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in the developing countries like Bangladesh. Antimicrobial agents are the frequently used drug for its treatment. Periodic evaluation of antimicrobial activity of different antibiotics is essential as the pattern of antibiotic sensitivity may vary over periods. Increasing antibiotic resistance among urinary pathogens to commonly prescribed drugs has become a global reality today.Objective : To determine the prevalence and to find out the causative agents of UTI and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern among suspected UTI patients attending Northern International Medical College Hospital (NIMCH), Dhaka.Methods : A retrospective study was conducted at Northern International Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh by analyzing the records of urine samples collected for culture and sensitivity tests over a period of six months (January 2014 to June 2014). Of the total 878 clean catch mid-stream urine samples collected from suspected cases of UTI patients of all ages and both sexes. Urine specimens were cultured for isolation of microbial agents of urinary tract infection. The isolated bacteria were identified using biochemical test. The diffusion susceptibility test was used to determine susceptibility of bacterial agents to antibiotics. Computerized data was collected from Microbiology department of NIMCH and analyzed by Microsoft Excel Version 2013.Results : In this study, 182 (20.73%) out of 878 urine sample were positive for pathogenic organisms. Of the various pathogenic organisms isolated, Escherichia coli constituted for 85.16% followed by Pseudomonas sp, Acinatobactersp, Group D Streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiellasp, Enterobactersp and others. E.coli was found to be most sensitive to Imipenem, Amikacin and Meropenem and resistant to most commonly used oral drugs like Azithromycin, Cefexime, cotrimoxazole and Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin.Conclusion : Mainly Gram negative bacilli is responsible for UTI and most frequent isolated bacteria was E-coli. The most effective antibiotics were Imipenem, Amikacin, Meropenem,all of them are parentral. Majority E-coli were resistant to commonly used oral drugs like Azithromycin, Cefexime, cotrimoxazole and Ciprofloxacin. Therefore the choice of antibiotic therapy in UTI should be depends on the local sensitivity pattern of the infecting organisms.Northern International Medical College Journal Vol.7(1) Jul 2015: 105-109

Pain abdomen is a common pediatric complaint that brings patient to the hospital in Nepal.Knowledge about its etiology and frequency helps in its evaluation and management. The presentstudy was undertaken to find out the causes and their frequency of pain abdomen in Nepalichildren. Children with pain abdomen presenting at the emergency room and pediatric outpatientdepartment of Kathmandu Medical College, Kathmandu from January, 2006 to December 2007 wereclinically evaluated and investigated to find out the causes and frequency of their pain abdomen. Theoutcomes were tabulated and analyzed for interpretation. Of 444 patients attended, 356 completedinvestigations and came for follow up. Cause of pain abdomen was apparent in 117 (32.9%) only.91.5% were medical causes, comprising predominantly of diarrheal diseases (28.3%), infantile colic(9.4%), urinary tract infection (7.7%) and acid peptic disease (6.8%). 8.5% causes were related tosurgical conditions, which needed operative management. Secondary or extra-abdominal causeswere found in 20 cases (17.1%). Pneumonia (2), functional (5), vulvovaginitis (2) and infantile colic(11) were predominant causes. Our study showed that the causes of pain abdomen in children werepredominantly medical. Gastroenteritis was the most frequent cause. Secondary causes, includingfunctional and emotional causes were infrequent. Small percentage needing surgical managementformed a diagnostic challenge.Key words: abdomen, children, gastroenteritis, pain

IntroductionIn developing countries, urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most commonly diagnosed diseases among the patient seeking medical service and being treated with empirical antibiotics which causes resistance.ObjectiveTo find out the prevalence of urinary tract infection and sensitivity pattern of antibiotics among bacterial pathogens isolated in patients attending Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital, Duwakot.MethodologyAll the patients with the clinical suspicion of UTI were sent for urine culture. Prevalence of UTI and urinary pathogens isolated with antimicrobial profile was correlated.ResultA total number of 1735 clinically suspected as UTI cases were sent for urine culture sensitivity. Total culture positive were 239 (13.8%). The majority of isolates were from female patients comprising 180 (75%). The most common pathogenic microorganism isolated was E.coli (79.1%). Second most common organism was Klebsiella (11.7%) followed by Citrobacter (3.34%) and Proteus (2.92%). The isolated microorganism showed maximum number of sensitivity with the antibiotics Ofloxacin and Ciprofloxacin. The isolated microorganism demonstrated resistance with Nalidixic Acid and Co-Trimoxazole. ConclusionUrinary tract infection is a commonly encountered case in general practice. Females are commonly affected than men. The microbiological profile and the antibiotic sensitivity pattern while initiating empirical treatment must be taken into account while planning for the management. Regular supervision of the sensitivity pattern of pathogenic microorganism is mandatory for effective treatment.Birat Journal of Health Sciences Vol.2/No.1/Issue 2/ Jan - April 2017, Page: 134-137

With the previous knowledge on the production of ?-lactamase by the bacterial pathogens causing urinary tract infection, present study further investigated the presence of symptomatic and asymptomatic bacteriuria in female patients admitted into the Delta Medical College with suspected urinary tract infections (UTIs). The manifestation of uropathogens and their responses against locally available antibiotics (amoxicillin, 10 ?g; cephradin, 30 ?g; ciprofloxacin, 5 ?g; cotrimoxazole, 23.8 ?g; gentamicin, 10 ?g; nalidixic acid, 30 ?g) were inquired by means of conventional cultural techniques and double-disc diffusion methods, respectively. Among 110 urine samples collected from the patients with suspected UTI, 34 were found to be culture positive. Symptomatic (64.7%) and asymptomatic (36.3%) bacteriuria were noticed inside the puss cell of the UTI positive cases. Escherichia coli (73.5%) was the dominant bacteria while Klebsiella spp. (26.5%) was also exultant. Around 96% uropathogens were found to be sensitive against imipenem, and 75% against amikacin. E. coli was found to be sensitive against all of the antibiotics used, whereas Klebsiella spp. was found to be 100% resistant against nalidixic acid and cotrimoxazole.

Diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) causing pathogens with their sensitivity to different antibiotics was performed with a total of 96 samples from both male (n=31; 32.3%) and female (n=65; 67.7%) of different age groups. Out of 96 urine samples, 55 (57.3%) were found positive after culturing in MacConkey agar plates. The percent distribution of positive cases against collected samples was higher for female (67%) than male (32%). However, female and male at the reproductive age of 16-30 years were more susceptible to UTI. A total of 55 bacterial isolates were identified by conventional methods and their antibiotic sensitivity was tested using Mueller- Hinton agar plates. The predominant isolates were Escherichia coli (34.5%), Klebsiella sp. (18.2%) and Staphylococci (20.0%). The sensitivity pattern for most of the isolated organisms showed 50% and/or higher sensitivity to imipenem, azithromycin and cephalexin, except Staphylococci (only 9.09% to azithromycin).
