Objective: This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Escherichia coli in asymptomatic bacteriuria among the students of Federal School of Medical Laboratory Technology, Jos.

Methods: Mid-stream urine samples from 213 students who consented were collected, cultured, isolates identified and antibiotic susceptibility test was carried out according to standard microbiological protocols.

Results: Of the 213 test samples screened, 9(4.2%) had asymptomatic bacteriuria. The study indicates that 9(4.2%) of the samples showed a significant count growth, 4(1.9%) had a non significant growth, while 199(93.4%) showed no growth. Of the 114 samples screened from female students, 9(7.9%) had significant bacteriuria, while of the 99 samples screened from the male counterparts non 0(0.0%) had significant bacteriuria. The bacterial isolates recovered in this study were Escherichia coli which had the highest with 6(66.7%) while Klebsiella species had the lowest with 3(33.3%).The distribution of microbial isolates recovered from the study shows that Escherichia coli had the highest prevalence of 6(60.0%), followed by Klebsiella species with 3(30.0%), while Candida species had 1(10.0%).The antibiotic susceptibility pattern for the Escherichia coli isolates reveals that all the 6(100%) isolates were susceptible to Nalidixic acid, Nitrofurantoin and Gentamycin, while Colistin Phosphate, Tetracycline and Streptomycin had 5(83.3%), 4(66.7%) and 1(16.7%) respectively. Ampicillin and Cotrimoxazole were resistant to all the Escherichia coli isolates.

Conclusion: Asymptomatic bacteriuria was recorded among the females, therefore this call for the need to create more awareness on prevention and control measures for UTIs among females. The antibiogram profile suggested possibilities of drug abuse.

“…However, in this study, a statistically non significant association was observed in the prevalence of UTI between the males and the females (p > 0.05).Close proximity of the female urethral meatus to the anus, shorter urethra, and sexual intercourse, incontinence, bad toilet habits have all been reported as factors that influence the higher prevalence in females 11,25,28 .…”

Objective: This study is designed to determine the prevalence of Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Jos and its environs among HIV cohort. This is aimed at providing improved patient care and management.

Methods: 260 mid-stream urine samples were collected from HIV Sero-positive patients. Samples were cultured, isolates identified and antibiogram was carried out according to standard microbiological protocols.

Results: Of the 260 test samples screened, 61(23.5%) had UTIs. The study showed the presence of UTIs in all the age groups and the age group 46 and above had the highest prevalence .The study showed that females had a higher prevalence than males.UTIs were recorded in all the occupational groups considered, of which civil servants and business people had the highest. Marital status showed that the widowed had the highest rate followed by the married and then the singles. The distributions of the isolates were as follows: Escherichia coli 25(9.6%), Staphylococcus aureus 17(6.5%), Proteus mirabilis 7(2.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 7(2.7%) and Klebsiella species 5(1.9%).The antibiogram showed that the antibiotics of choice were Gentamycin, Nitrofurantoin and Augmentin in that order.

Conclusion: This study reveals that the bacterial uropathogens recovered are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella species .The antibiogram showed that the antibiotics of choice were Gentamycin, Nitrofurantoin and Augmentin.

“…40 The high prevalence of resistance to the community used antibiotics such as ampicillin, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline was also noted in some studies. 41,42,43 Niranjan et al (2014) reported multiple drug resistance in uropathogenic E.coli, which could be due to its widespread prevalence in the community. 44 Lack of guidelines for appropriate use of Antimicrobial agents is another factor responsible for spread of resistance.…”

Abstract:Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are counted among the most common infections in humans. In spite of the availability and use of the antimicrobial drugs, UTIs caused by bacteria have been showing increasing trends. Patients diagnosed clinically as UTI during the study period (January 2015 to December 2015) in a Shri Vasantrao Naik Government Medical College and Hospital, Yavatmal (Maharashtra) were included in the study. Urine sample of these patients were tested for Culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing. A total of 472 urine samples were included in the study of that 368 from female patients and 104 from male patients. Out of 472 urine samples urine culture was positive in 200(42.37%) whereas in 272 urine culture was negative. Most common etiological organisms of UTI isolated were Escherichia coli 64(32%) followed by Klebsiella species 61(30.5%), Staphylococcus aureus 26(13%), Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) 11(5.5), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 11(5.5%) Proteus species 7(3.5%), Citrobacter species 4(2%), Enterococci species 4(2%), Acinetobacter species 2(1%), Streptococcus pyogenes 1(0.5%). Most effective antibiotics were imipenem, nitrofurantoin, amikacin and piperacillin-tazobactum. For prevention of UTIs, implementation of strict infection control guidelines, effective hand washing and judicious use of antimicrobials is mandatory to prevent the emergence of drug resistance among uropathogens.
