“…Previous reports have registered highly variable CAUTI rates in patients undergoing urological procedures; the identified variability allows us to evaluate our rates in the context of routine daily practice. For instance, the observed prevalence rate seems to be quite similar to that recently reported by Medina-Polo et al, 17 who registered a 4.2% CAUTI prevalence among urological patients in Spain. Conversely, other studies conducted in similar patients recorded CAUTI rates that reached 31.0 per 1,000 18 or 25.1 per 1,000 catheter 19 days, being higher than those we observed.…”

“…After all indwelling catheter is kept in almost all urological procedures for variable time in post-operative period. 16,17,18 Nosocomial infections show different characteristics, as compare to other types of infections. The microbiological pattern involved in community-acquired infections is different from that shown by hospital acquired infections.…”

Background: Nosocomial associated urinary tract infections are common, which not only causes morbidity and mortality but also increases cost of health related expenditure in urology patients. Such infections are more difficult to treat because of presence of risk factors e.g. stone, reduced kidney functions. Limited studies are available which focus on type of organisms involved in NAUTI and their presentation in urology departments. Objective: To determine the proportion of microorganisms involved in Nosocomial associated urinary tract infections (NAUTI) and their presentations in urology ward. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Dubai Hospital in Dubai UAE, from 2017-2018. All patients, who were admitted in urology department with negative urine cultures, were included in study. Urine cultures were sent at time of discharge and a week after discharge from hospital. Patients were followed up in outdoor at first and second week. Results: Total 475 patients were included in this study in given time period. 315(66.31%) patients were male and 160(33.68%) patients were female. On their first follow up after a week, Urine cultures, which were sent at discharge time reveals,73(15.36%) patient’s urine cultures were positive, out of them 21(28.76%) were Mixed Bacterial Growth (MBG). E.coli was most common organism 20(27.39%) in which 11(15.06%) were ESBL positive, klebsiela 9(12.32%) in which 4(5.47%) were ESBL positive. Other organisms include Psuedomonas 4(5.47%), candida 16(21.91%) and enterococcus 3(4.11%). Frequency of candida was second highest, probably because of use of antibiotics during admission. Conclusion: Prevalence of NAUTI in urology is 19.79% (94/475 patients). Enterobacterale species were main responsible organisms for NAUTI in Urology ward. E.coli was most common organism isolated and klebsiela was second most common. Key words: Nosocomial UTI, ESBL UTI, Urology ward

Healthcare-associated infections in a department of urology: Incidence and patterns of antibiotic resistance

Abstract: HAIs usually occur in patients with risk factors. Radical cystectomy is associated with a high incidence of HAIs. Microorganisms associated with HAIs show high rates of resistance, which must be taken into account when selecting appropriate antibiotic therapy.
