Prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity of pathogens isolated in urinary tract infection in a medical college hospital
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Microbiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
UTI is a common cause of morbidity worldwide. It is mostly caused by E coli or other gram negative bacteria. Many of the organisms have become resistant to common antibiotics, The present cross sectional study was conducted to find prevalence of various pathogens in urine of patients suffering from urinary tract infection and to assess the antibiotic sensitivity profile of these isolates. Urine was collected and culture and sensitivity was done. Females were affected more than males. E. coli was the most common organism isolated. Most of the organisms were sensitive to Amikacin and ciprofloxacin.
