A study on prevalence of bacterial isolates causing urinary tract infection at tertiary care hospital, Rajkot, Gujarat, India
Abstract
Introduction: Urinary tract infection is most common bacterial infectious disease after respiratory tract infection disease in community practice. The introduction of antimicrobial therapy has contributed significantly to the management of UTIs.
Objective: This study was conducted to identify bacterial isolates causing urinary tract infection & their prevalence in different age and gender. Material & Methods: 1000 Urine Samples received at Tertiary Care Hospital, Rajkot during year 2017 were tested for bacterial pathogen by Culture and Bio-chemical reaction.
Results: Out of 1000 samples, 210 (21%) samples were found positive for UTI Isolates. Out of 210 positive cases, the prevalence of UTI was higher in female patients (56.19%) than in male patients (43.81%). The highest susceptible age group of patients to UTI was found in 21-40 years (33.33%). The highest prevalence of UTI in female patient was found in the age group of 21-40 years (44.92%) while in male patients the highest susceptible age group to UTI was above 60 years (35.87%). E. coli was the most common isolate (53.81%).
Conclusion: Present study reported that E. coli isolate was the predominant pathogens causing UTI which mainly affected female. The study also allows comparison of the situation in Rajkot with other regions within and outside the state as well as in the country or outside the country. The knowledge of local prevalence of causative uropathogens and their respective antimicrobial sensitivity will help to reduce the incidence of resistance, empirical antibiotic selection in treatment of UTI.
