PREVALENCE OF BACTERIAL ISOLATION IN URINE SAMPLES AND THEIR ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY: A REVIEW
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be complicated if not diagnosed early and treated. Bacteriological analysis of urine samples collection, urine samples were collected and classified and analyzed for urinary tract infection (UTI) using pour plate method. The bacterial organisms isolated from the urine samples were characterized and identified using their colony descriptions, morphological and biochemical characteristics. The isolates were subjected to sensitivity test against conventional antibiotics using disc diffusion method.The presence of bacterial isolates with very high resistance to the commonly prescribed drugs leaves the clinicians with very few alternative options of drugs for the treatment of UTIs. So Culture and sensitivity of the isolates from urine samples should be done as a routine before advocating the therapy. KEYWORDS: Urinary tract infections, antimicrobial susceptibility, E. coli, Broth cultures, Urine analysis.
