There have been conflicting reports about prevalence of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) causing bacteria in elderly in recent times. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence and resistance pattern of UTIs causing bacteria in elderly Nigerian patients. A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out among elderly patients attending the general and medical outpatients’ clinics of Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, Nigeria. Patients aged 60 years and above with at least two signs of UTIs were purposefully selected for the study. Clean catch mid-stream urine specimens from 100 eligible patients were examined for significant bacteriuria. Identification and antibiotics susceptibility patterns of the isolates were determined using standard techniques. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage. Association between variables was determined using Chi-squared test. P values<0.05 were considered significant. One hundred elderly outpatients were evaluated. Majority of the study participants were males (68, 68.0%) and (64, 64.0%) were married. More than half of the participants (59, 59.0%) had no significant bacteriuria. Among the participants with significant bacteriuria (41, 41.0%), males (29/41, 70.7%, p=0.001) were more than the females (12, 29.3%). Klebsiella pneumoniae (19/41, 46.3%) was the most isolated organism in the participants’ urine specimens, (35/41, 85.4%) of the isolates were resistant to nitrofurantoin. Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most isolated UTIs-causing bacteria among the elderly evaluated. Physicians need to be aware of trends in profiles of UTIs-causing bacteria for effective diagnosis of the disease in elderly.Journal of Medical and Biomedical Sciences (2017) 6(3), 15 - 22

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common type of bacterial infection of the body affecting humans throughout their lifetime. They are a frequent cause of nosocomial in fection in many hospitals. Therefore, this study was designed to isolate and identify the non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) causing UTI in hospitalized patients and determine their antibiotic susceptibility profile. This study was carried in Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal among hospitalized patients. The urine sample was cultured and the antibiotic susceptibility profile of isolated NFGNB was determined by standard microbiological procedures. Among the total of 49 NFGNB isolates, Acinetobacter species (n=21, 42.9%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=21, 42.9%) were the major isolates and the remaining was Burkholderia cepacia complex (n=7, 14.3%). These isolates were found resistant to commonly used antibiotics. From the present study, it is clear that NFGNB are an important bacterial pathogen capable of producing UTI in hospitalized patients.
