“…In diabetic female, 72.34% asymptomatic UTI cases was found in a study by Ophori et al (2010). Also, in another study done among school students (Frank-Peterside and Wokoma, 2009), asymptomatic bacteriuria in female was 60% and that in male was 40%. Since female are at high risk of UTI than male due to short urethra and prevalence of asymptomatic UTI is also higher in female.…”

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The propensity of the infection can vary in different individuals especially when there is underreporting from the patients having a risk of acquiring infections. This study was conducted in Padma Nursing Home, Pokhara, Nepal from April to September, 2014. A total of 200 mid-stream urine samples were collected from diabetic patients visiting the nursing home and processed by standard laboratory procedure. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. About 13% of the patient's urine specimens had shown UTIs. The prevalence of UTI was 18.1% in female and 8.5% in male. Statistically significant association of UTI was found with gender and pyuria. E. coli was the most predominating organism (37%) causing UTI followed by Enterococcus spp (22.2%) and Klebsiella spp. (14.8%). Nitrofurantoin and Ciprofloxacin were the most potent drugs. UTIs are more frequent and are likely to have a more complicated course in patients with DM. This study pointed out that higher age patients, female gender and diabetic patients are risk groups for UTI and should be very cautious to so as to prevent it.

“…In patients with S. aureus bacteremia, a positive urine culture is typically attributed to ascending infection or to hematogenous spread. Coagulase positive Staphylococci may have invaded the UTI through hematogenous routes while the coagulase negative Staphylococci may invade the urinary tract through sexual activity especially in females (Frank-Peterside and Wokoma, 2009).…”

Asymptomatic bacteriuria, a form of urinary tract infections that involves isolation of a specified quantitative count of bacteria in an appropriately collected urine specimen obtained from a person without symptoms or signs referable to urinary infection is common, but the prevalence in population varies widely with age, sex and the presence of genitourinary abnormalities. This study therefore aimed at investigating the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among selected students of Faculty of Pharmacy, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife Nigeria as well as the antibiotic resistance patterns of the bacterial isolates associated with the condition. Urine samples were collected from one hundred apparently healthy students and processed within two hours of collection. The isolates were identified by conventional biochemical tests while antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates were carried out according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Results revealed 77% prevalence (49 females, 27 males) among the sample studied with the presence of Staphylococcal spp., Klebsiella spp., Citrobacter spp. and Bacillus spp. Staphylococcus aureus is the predominant species accounting for 54.5% of the isolates. Antibiotic susceptibility study revealed all the isolates to be multidrug resistant. However, resistance to ofloxacin by Gram-negative bacterial isolates was least while resistance to streptomycin by the Gram-positive isolates was least in this study. The study concluded that multidrug resistant bacteria can be associated with asymptomatic bacteriuria while the patients may not develop any sign or symptom referable to urinary tract infection.

“…The most common causative pathogens associated with UTIs are E coli (80%) and S saprophyticus (5% to 15%). 4,6,7 The majority of infections in UTIs are uncomplicated but when patients have functional, metabolic or structural abnormalities the infections are considered complicated. The etiology of complicated UTI is more diverse and frequently polymicrobial in nature.…”

Background:Urinary tract infection is the most common bacterial infections in humans and serious health problem in many parts of the world. It has become more complicated in treatment due to different pathogens and increasing resistant to antimicrobial agents. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of urinary tract infection and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of pathogens among the patients attending in B & B hospital Nepal.Materials and Methods:A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted in between April 2010 to March 2011. Urine samples were collected from clinically suspected patients and tested bacteriologically using standard procedures. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed for isolated pathogen using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines.Results:Out of 1260 examined specimens 25.24 % were positive and majority 61.64% were females. The most common pathogens isolated were Escherichia coli (66.67%), Enterococcus (7.55%) and Staphylococcus (6.60 %). The drug resistant among the positive cases were reported. The highest resistant of positive cases was found with Cefexime (87.88%) and Enterococcus with Ampicillin (66.67%) and Staphyllococcus with Cloxacillin (66.67%). The highest susceptibility was for Vancomycin and Ampicillin i.e. 33.33% in each.Conclusion:The findings showed that E. coli isolates were the predominant pathogen and the presence of bacterial isolates with very high resistance to the commonly prescribed drugs. As drug resistance among bacterial pathogens is an evolving process and serious issue. Therefore, routine surveillance and monitoring studies should be conducted to provide physicians knowledge on the updated and most effective empirical treatment of UTIs.
