Frequency of Common Bacteria and Antibiotic Sensitivity in Patients with Indwelling Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections

Abstract

Objective: Examine the prevalence of common bacteria and their antibiotic susceptibility in individuals with urinary tract infections caused by indwelling catheters. Study Design: Cross-sectional descriptive research. Place and Duration of study: From January 30, 2021, to July 29, 2021, researchers from the Department of Medicine at Muhammad Teaching Hospital in Peshawar, collected data for this study. Materials and Methods: The proportion of patients with Enterococcus spp. urinary tract infections2 was 5.4%, with a 95% confidence interval and a 3.5% margin of error using WHO software, and they monitored 179 individuals. In addition, a non-probabilistic sampling method based on a sequence of samples was applied. Results: Based on our data, the median age was 47 years old (with a standard deviation of ±2.15), and 33% of our participants were male and 67% were female. Escherichia coli was detected in 37% of patients with catheter linked urinary tract infection, Staphylococcus epidermidis in 18%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 16%, Klebsiella pneumonia in 20%, Proteus mirabilis in 3%, and Enterococcus in 6%. Conclusion: Escherichia coli (37%) was the most prevalent bacterium found in catheter-associated urinary tract infections, followed by Klebsiella pneumonia (20%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (18%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16 percent). Keywords: Infection of the urinary tract caused by a catheter, urinary catheterization, CAUTI. E. coli, microorganisms, antibiotics, and infectious diseases.

Prevalence of catheter associated Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in hospitalized patient in Karachi

“…11 In another cross sectional study of about 179 patients conducted in department of medicine Muhammad Teaching hospital Peshawar showed CAUTI according to their culture reports.E.coli in 37 %,staphlyoccous epiderdimis 18 %,Pseudomonas aeruginosa 16%,Klebsellia pneumonia 20 %,proteus mirabilis 3% and Enterocoocus 6%. 15 This above findings were similar to another study done in Peshawar at Two tertiary care hospitals showing that gram negative organism account for 79 % mainly E.coli and Enterococcus in gram positive about 21%. 16 Our study was conducted at government hospitals in Karachi, which is why a routine urine culture report was not conducted as part of the investigation.…”
