“…In the presence of co morbidities (DM), MDR isolates as a leading etiological factor (Bagir et al, 2019;Nigussie & Amsalu, 2017). MDR against more than two antimicrobial drugs was found in 96.66% of total isolates in our investigation, which contradicts findings about the incidence of MDR in DM patients.…”

“…4,5 Diabetes patients are more susceptible to contracting UTI if glucose is not well controlled, diabetes has already attacked the nervous system (neuropathy), it occurs among women, the patient already had kidney or blood vessel complications from diabetes, or the patient has had a urinary tract infection within the last year. [6][7][8][9] UTIs in diabetic patients may be symptomatic or asymptomatic bacteriuria, and are most commonly considered as intricate and complicated. 10 Asymptomatic UTI is the most common form in diabetic patients and can lead to severe kidney damage and renal failure.…”

“…7,9,12,18 Due to different reasons, these bacterial uropathogens showed wide-ranging resistances to different classes of antibiotics across the world. 6,7, In diabetic patients, early diagnosis of UTI is essential for its proper management and to avoid the incidence of possible complications. However, in developing countries including Ethiopia, urine culture screening is not routinely done for diabetic follow-ups; and treatment is empirical, which may lead to the emergence and spread of antimicrobial-resistant strains which is a leading cause of treatment failure in UTI.…”

“…20 The main complication of diabetes reported by our patients was diabetic nephropathy (28.57%), similarly to that reported by Bagir et al (29.3%). 16 In this study, 25% of our patients had severe chronic renal failure. This is in line with the result reported by Ahmad's study (38.05%).…”

“…The female predominance of UTI is also widely reported by another authors. 16,17 It could be explained by the short length of the female urethra and the proximity of the urethral meatus to the vagina and anus, which favors the occurrence of UTI. 18 In our country, infections are still one of the main complications of diabetes mellitus.…”
