Author(s): Emily Cooper*
The study's goal is to determine the incidence of bacteria from urinary tract infections and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns (UTIs). From 2015 to 2017, Shiraz University Laboratory performed a retrospective examination of urinary pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility on urine cultures. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed according to CSLI standards, utilizing the disk-diffusion technique. 3489 samples were culture positive during the course of the two-year investigation. The most common isolate was Escherichia coli (84%) followed by Klebsiella sp. (10.7%) and Enterococci sp. (22%). Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ceftriaxone, and ciprofloxacin resistance rates were 56.1 percent, 47.2 percent, and 37 percent, respectively. E. coli was the most often isolated bacterium, with resistance rates of 58.6%, 49.1% to TMP-STX, and cefixime, as well as nitrofur.. View More»
