Bacteriological Profile in Urinary Tract Infection and Their Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern.

Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common and serious health problem affecting millions of people worldwide  each year especially females. Treatment of UTI relies on the bacteriological profile and the knowledge of their  antibiotic susceptibility pattern. A cross-sectional study was done in Kantipur Hospital, Kathmandu. Tools for  data collection were a data collection form. Total 1246 urine sample from patient suspected of UTI was  reviewed, out of which 369 (29.61%) of urine sample showed significant growth. UTI was prevalent in females  of age group 21-30 being Escherichia coli (62.3%) predominant one. Altogether 199 multi drug resistance strains were isolated. Empirical treatment of UTI should be discouraged.
