| خلاصه مقاله | Urinary tract infection is a widespread bacterial infection caused by a wide range of pathogens. Given that the typical bacteria that cause infection are well known, it is critical to investigate their antibiotic resistance profile in order to be familiar with the appropriate antibiotics to be given as well as to prevent antibiotic resistance.
The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence of uropathogens as well as their antibiotic resistance pattern. This descriptive and retrospective cross-sectional study included 267 UTI patients admitted to Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan, Iran, for a year. From laboratory archives and medical records, patient data, urine tests, antibiotic susceptibility tests, and prescribed antibiotics were obtained.
In total 267 urine samples were studied, the majority of them (78.7%) were acquired from a community setting. Most of them were female 212 (79.4%). The most common uropathogens were E. coli (86.8%), Klebsiella (3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2.2%), Staphylococcus aureus (2.2%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (2.2%), Enterobacter (1.9%). The isolated microorganisms were mostly resistant to cefixime (36%), ceftriaxone (31.1%), and ciprofloxacin (29.2%).
We proposed that ceftriaxone, which was the first-line therapy option in our conclusive trial, be discontinued experimentally and utilized only after bacterial diagnosis and antibiogram testing |
