Background: Antibiotic resistance is considered to be the next worldwide epidemic. Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the second most common cause of infection, which also has the highest resistance frequency. Nevertheless, in high Andean regions, little is known about the antibiotic resistance. Objectives : Determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns of the enterobacteriaceae family isolated from urinary tract infections of a Peruvian Andean region. Material and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional review of 1717 records from the microbiology service of a private health institution from Puno - Peru, was done between the years 2014 and 2017. Antibiotic resistance by uropathogens was studied among different age groups. Statistical analysis included Chi2 test with a p<0.05. Poisson regression was used to calculate the prevalence ratio (PR) with a 95% confidence interval. Findings: There was a wide distribution of antibiotic resistance among all the antibiotics, mainly in Escherichia coli and Proteus spp. The elderly had the highest prevalence of antibiotic resistance. As age increased, resistance to all drugs also increased (p<0.01). Furthermore, the elderly had a risk probability of resistance of 1.22, 1.42, 1.20 and 1.32 to penicillins, cephalosporins, quinolones and other antibiotics respectively. Conclusion: The antimicrobial resistance patterns of the Peruvian Andean region were lower than national and international patterns.

The aim of this study was investigating the drug resistance patterns of bacteria isolated from pregnant women with urinary tract infections (UTIs). This study included 1140 pregnant women attending two of main hospitals in Baghdad, Iraq, between September 2016 and August 2017. The isolation and identification of uropathogenic bacteria conducted by standard microbiological methods and Vitek2 system. The disc diffusion test was used to determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns of the isolated bacteria. The present study revealed that three hundred and fifty six isolates were positive for significant bacterial growth. Escherichia coli were the predominant bacteria (34 %) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (22.2 %), Klebsiella spp. (14.6 %), non-coagulase Staphylococcus (11.5 %), Proteus spp. (4.5 %), Pseudomonas spp. (3.7 %), Acinetobacter spp. (2.8 %), Citrobacter (2.8 %), Enterococcus (2.5 %) and Enterobacter (1.4 %). High resistance to Ampicillin (85.6 %), Co-trimoxazole (72.2 %) and Tetracycline (71.3 %) was observed. Also, It was found a moderate resistance to Ceftazidime, Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and Ceftriaxone. Imipenem was the most active antibiotic against isolated uropathogens. Among the 356 uropathogenic isolates, 196 (55 %) were from women in the 21 to 30 years old age group, and this rate was higher than other age groups. In conclusion, urinary tract infections are frequent among pregnant women. Early detection and continuous monitoring of antibiotic resistance pattern is very important to determine the appropriate treatment of UTIs among pregnant women without complications.

Antibiotic Resistance Patterns

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most frequently occurring infections majority of which are caused by multi-drug resistant (MDR) uropathogens. Hence, the present study was designed to find out the prevalence of bacterial pathogens causing UTIs and to determine their antibiotic resistance patterns against different classes of antibiotics. Clean-catch midstream urine samples were collected from 200 UTI patients of different sex and age groups. The uropathogens were isolated using Hi-Chrome UTI agar, Blood agar, MacConkey agar and then subjected to antibiotic susceptibility analysis against nine antibiotics of different classes using Kirby-Bauer’s disc diffusion method. From 55.08% positive samples, it was found that females were more prone to UTIs than males and in both cases; the prevalence rate was higher in the age group 21-40 years (33%). Among the uropathogens, E.coli was the predominant etiological agent (57.38%) followed by Enterococcus sp. (36.06%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.28%) and Staphylococcus aureus (3.28%). The pathogens showed remarkable amount of sensitivity against Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin. The present experiment can be helpful for the clinicians in finding proper drugs in the developing countries like Bangladesh where multi-drug resistance problem has just complicated the treatment of UTIs.
