Keywords:
pathogens, urinary track infections, hospital, etiologyAbstract
Majority of hospital acquired infection included Urinary Tract Infection (UTIs) worldwide. If the causes of UTI are well understood, the condition may be easily managed with timely management. In current study, the UTI factors and frequency of pathogenic bacteria in all patients were observed and also the bacterial cultures were identified to check the percentage of infection caused by different gram positive and negative bacteria. For this study, 300 urine samples were collected aseptically and subjected to routine microbiology analysis. Different gram negative and gram-positive bacteria were isolated and identified from the urine samples. The gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli was the most dominant and frequently identified bacteria in UTI emerged as the most dominant bacterial uropathogens, followed by Staph aureus, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., and Enterococcus. This study found significant associations (p<0.05) with UTI with age 19 years to 50 years, male and female gender, married and single people, genitourinary tract anomalies, diabetes and indwelling catheter use for 6 days.
