“…These findings are in conformity with the reports by other researchers. [ 9 11 ] According to Alzohairy and Khadri[ 9 ] and Patil and Jain,[ 1 ] Pseudomonas species was the third most common uropathogen, but this is contrary to our study, which showed that E. faecalis is the third one.…”

“…Generally antibiotics are prescribed empirically for urinary tract infection (UTI) before the final urine culture laboratory results are available. [ 1 ] Choice of empirical antibiotic prescription depends on the knowledge of bacterial organisms that are prevalent locally and antibiotic sensitivities, rather than on universal guidelines. [ 2 3 4 ] In recent years, bacterial resistance to various antibiotics has raised dramatically, forcing physicians with few therapeutic choices.…”

“…The magnitude of CAUTI was higher in female (63.63%) than male patients (36.36%), which is in agreement with other studies such as Patil and Patil 21 and Nadeem R et al 22 This female predominance is due to short urethra, its proximity to the anus, and dilatation of the urethra, which makes it easier for bacteria to spread, leading to infection. Hence, in females, catheterization should be done when absolutely indicated.…”

“…The most prevalent bacteria was E. coli (26.6%) which is lower than report from Arbaminch, Ethiopia (40.5%) (11), Jimma, Ethiopia (42.0%) (27), Yemen (46.3%) (28), and most parts of India (31%-38%) (15,16,18,19,24). Studies conducted in Yemen (18.5%) (28), Chhattisgarh, India(17%) (24), Maharashtra, India (16.4%) (16), and Chhattisgarh, India (24), reported low proportion of Klebsiella species unlike our study (22.2%) which is the second most prevalent bacteria.…”
