“…The prevalence of UTI was found to be 10.87% in this study and this rate of prevalence is similar to Akram et al, (2007) (10.86%) but little lower compared to Ahmed et al, (2012) (20.12%). From above results it is observed that Staphylococcus saprophyticus is an important pathogen in sexually active young women.…”

“…The analyses of antibiotic resistance patterns according to the age groups showed that the number of the strains resistant to most of the antimicrobial agents increased with age, except the strains resistant to co-trimoxazole and piperacillin/tazobactam (Figure 1). Some differences in the antibiotic resistance patterns between the urinary tract pathogens isolated from different age groups were observed, however, the rate of resistance to different antibiotics was higher in pediatrics patients compared with that in the middle aged and elderly patients (24) . Another study demonstrated the differences between the age groups in susceptibility patterns among E. coli urinary tract isolates for all tested antibiotics except co-trimoxazole (25) .…”

Introduction:The drug resistant Acinetobacter strains are important causes of nosocomial infections that are difficult to control and treat. This study aimed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Acinetobacter strains isolated from different clinical specimens obtained from patients belonging to different age groups. Methods: In total, 716 non-duplicate Acinetobacter isolates were collected from the infected patients admitted to tertiary-care hospitals at Lahore, Pakistan, over a period of 28 months. The Acinetobacter isolates were identified using API 20E, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed and interpreted according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Results: The isolation rate of Acinetobacter was high from the respiratory specimens, followed by wound samples. Antibiotic susceptibility analyses of the isolates revealed that the resistance to cefotaxime and ceftazidime was the most common, in 710 (99.2%) specimens each, followed by the resistance to gentamicin in 670 (93.6%) isolates, and to imipenem in 651 (90.9%) isolates. However, almost all isolates were susceptible to tigecycline, colistin, and polymyxin B. Conclusions: The present study showed the alarming trends of resistance of Acinetobacter strains isolated from clinical specimens to the various classes of antimicrobials. The improvement of microbiological techniques for earlier and more accurate identification of bacteria is necessary for the selection of appropriate treatments.

“…They were incubated aerobically at 37°C for 24 hours (Collee et al, 1996) After completion of incubation, the inoculated culture plates will be observed for presence of any bacterial growth. If growth occurs, colony count will be done to calculate the number of colony forming unit per ml of urine.…”

“…Its annual global incidence is of almost 250 million (Ronald A R, 2001). Worldwide, about 150 million people are diagnosed with UTI each year, costing the global economy in excess of 6 billion US dollars (Akram et al, 2007). Proliferation of bacteria in the urinary tract is the cause of urinary tract infection.…”

The aim and objectives of this study were to determine the etiological pathogens of the Urinary Tract Infection and to determine their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in Bangladesh. This study was carried out on clinically suspected UTI patient in a Private Diagnostic Centre, Bangladesh from May 2015 to November 2015. From total 200 urine samples, pathogens were isolated and identified and their antibiotic susceptibility was observed by standard microbiological procedures. Out of 200 urine samples 124 (62%) patients tested positive for culture. In gram negative bacteria, the most predominant was the E. coli (48.39%) followed by Klebsiella spp (14.52%), Pseudomonas spp (3.23%) and Acinetobacter spp (3.23%). In the gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (13.71%) and Enterococcus spp (11.29%) were found. Occasionally Candida spp. (5.65%) was found. Gramnegative bacteria were more sensitive to Imipenem, Amikacin and Nitrofurantoin. On the otherhand Grampositive bacteria showed their sensitivity to Amoxicillin-clavulinic acid and Linezolid and Vancomycin showed 100% sensitivity. UTI has become difficult to treat due to appearance of pathogens with increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents. This study showed that pathogens responsible for UTI showed increasing resistance to the commonly prescribed drugs that in turn leaves very few alternative options for the treatment of UTIs.
