“…Consistent with our findings, results of studies developed in North America, using similar sample, showed double risk for developing ICU nosocomial infection for patients transferred from an emergency room or other hospital unit than those who came from the community, or from another hospital (13)(14) . (4,8,14) . In the present study, UTI were responsible for 37.6% (n=144) of all reported ICU infections, among which 76.4% (n=110) were asymptomatic and 33.6% (n=34) were symptomatic.…”

This prospective study aimed to determine the nosocomial infection (NI) incidence in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), its association with clinical characteristics and occurrence sites. It was carried out among 1.886 patients admitted in an ICU of a University Hospital, from August 2005 to January 2008. Data analysis was done using Fisher’s test and Relative Risk (RR). There were 383 NIs (20.3%). The infections were in the urinary tract (n=144; 37.6%), pneumonia (n=98; 25.6%), sepsis (n=58; 15.1%), surgical site (n=54; 14.1%) and others (n=29; 7.7%). Hospitalization average was 19.3 days for patients with NI and 20.2 days for those with colonization by resistant microorganisms. The mortality was 39.5% among patients with NI (RR: 4.4; 3.4-5.6). The NI was associated with patients originated from other units of the institution/emergency unit, more than 4 days of hospitalization, community infection, colonized by resistant microorganisms, using invasive procedures and deaths resulting from NI.

“…According to previous reports, UTI is predominant among women. In fact, it is estimated that half of women will have a UTI during their lifetime (1,8,9). Although different microorganisms can cause UTI, Escherichia coli accounts for the overwhelming majority of UTI cases (approximately 75% of UTI reports) (10,11).…”

In Mali, urinary infection is one of the most common bacterial diseases in outpatients. Treatment of these diseases has become challenging due to the emergence of pathogens with increasing resistance to available antimicrobial agents. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and evaluate the antibiotic resistance profile of the most frequently isolated enterobacteria strains involved in urinary infections in Bamako, Mali. In this study, 1050 patients with clinical symptoms of urinary infection, referred to "Institut National de Recherche en Santé Publique (INRSP)″ of Bamako, Mali, were evaluated between December 2010 and January 2011. The isolated bacteria were identified by biochemical tests. Disk diffusion method was applied to determine the antibiotic sensitivity of bacterial agents. Our results showed that 231 (22%) patients out of 1050 were shown to be urine culture positive (70.6% females and 29.4% males). The most isolated entero-bacterium was E. coli with frequency rate of 62.3%. The other enterobacteria were Klebsiella pneumoniae (19.5%), Enterobacter cloacea (6.1%), klebsiella oxycota (4.3%) and Proteusmirabilis (2.2%). All the enterobacteria isolated from urine specimens were sensitive to amikacin and colistin (92.9%-100%). The amikacin was more effective against all the uropathogen enterobacteria isolated in present study. According to the present survey, E. coli isolates were the predominant pathogens in urinary infections in the district of Bamako and were more prevalent in women than men. In the present study, the frequency of urinary pathogens was comparable to that reported in previous studies, showing an increasing resistance pattern to commonly prescribed antibiotics.
