Abstract: (1142 Views)
Background and Aim: With the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance, the control and treatment of urinary tract infections has failed, which will have dangerous consequences. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of bacteria causing urinary tract infections and the pattern of antibiotic resistance in urine culture samples referred to Hafte-tir laboratory of Delfan city health center in Lorestan province in 2019.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019. During this period, 4381 urine samples were sent to the laboratory for culture. After culturing the samples and detection of isolates, pattern of antibiotic susceptibility was determined by disk diffusion method on Müller-Hinton agar using antibiotic discs.
Results: Out of 229 positive urine cultures, 178 (77.7%) and 51(22.3%) belonged to females and males, respectively, and considering the P-value <0.05, this difference was significant. The most common isolated bacterium was Escherichia coli (144 (62.9%)). Among 229 isolates, the highest resistance was to ampicillin and the lowest to imipenem. Escherichia coli also had the highest resistance to penicillin and the lowest resistance to imipenem.
Conclusion: Due to the degree of antibiotic resistance to beta-lactam, it is recommended to use it less in the initial treatment of urinary tract infections. Also, by determining the pattern of antibiotic susceptibility in isolates isolated in the study area, reporting it to physicians can be used in experimental treatments.
