[Laboratory monitoring in intrahospital urinary tract infection in a urologic hospital].

Abstract

Of late, there has been a strong tendency to growing occurrence of intrahospital infections (IHI) caused by opportunistic pathogens. IHI of the urinary system is leading among them. IHI diagnosis is made basing on both clinical and microbiological data. Usage of the computer program "Journal of Microbiologist" adapted to urological hospital provides information on etiological structure of urinary infection, association of IHI with some therapeutic and diagnostic manipulations, antibiotic sensitivity of clinically active microorganisms among which Pseudomonas aeruginosa becomes the most frequent finding. This infection demonstrates resistance to a great number of previously effective antibacterial drugs.
