Urinary tract infection among pregnant women at Bobo-Dioulasso: epidemiological and bacteriological aspects

Abstract

Urinary tract infections are the first infections in pregnant women and can cause serious complications during pregnancy. In order to improve its management in low income country like Burkina Faso, we conducted a prospect cross-sectional study, to describe its epidemiological and biological aspects in pregnant women at Souro Sanou hospital at Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso).

Antimicrobial Resistance of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Isolated from Human Infections in N’Djamena, Chad

“…However, the frequency of urinary tract infections was higher in the female sexes than in males (Table 1). This difference can be justified by the peculiarity of the female anatomy characterized by its short, wide, straight urethra close to the perianal region and which, during sexual intercourse, causes the opening of the urethral meatus and favors the transfer of commensal bacteria in the bladder [22]. Unlike men who have a fairly long urinary tract and limit the ascent of bacteria to the urethra and the bladder.…”

Identification of Bacteria Strains Isolated in Urinary Tract Infections and Their Antibiotic Susceptibility at the National Public Health Laboratory, Ouagadougou

“…Our results are similar to those of Lahlou and collaborators [16] in Morocco, who noted a high frequency of resistance of community-acquired and nosocomial Enterobacteriaceae to beta-lactams with respectively 80% and 70% resistance to amoxicillin and amoxicillin + clavulanic acid for community strains and respectively 70% and 90% resistance to amoxicillin and ampicillin for nosocomial strains. Other studies, such as those by Zampaligré in 2012, Taale and collaborators in 2018 in Burkina Faso [7] [17],…”

“…In Burkina Faso in 2002, according to a study carried out, using 330 samples at the maternal and child health service of the Saint Camille Hospital, the prevalence of urinary tract infections was 18.5% [6]. In other studies in Burkina Faso, the respective prevalences of 27.5% and 30% have been reported [7] [8]. All these studies show the extent of urinary tract infections.…”

Garlic as Alternative Therapy to Treat Uropathogene Bacteria in Women with Urinary Tract Infection in Lomé, Togo

“…Despite the increased incidence of UTIs globally, the last decades have paralleled the growing emergence of antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial resistance in UTIs has reported worldwide and increasing rates of resistance is a growing concern in both developed and developing countries [6,7]. Multidrug resistant, pose treatment problem resulting in high morbidity, high mortality, and increased health care costs [8].…”
