The most prevalent medical condition among hospitalized and outpatient patients is a urinary tract infection. Multi-drug resistance to antibacterial medications is a further issue that raises concerns among health professionals. The most frequent causative and etiologic agent for urinary tract infections is Escherichia coli (E. coli). E. coli was the most common bacteria, accounting for 27.38% (43/157) of the 157 isolated uropathogens. A large percentage was also seen in females, 62.42% (98/157).
These isolates were all further checked against 12 different antibiotics. E. coli showed tremendous resistance towards Amoxyclav 88.42% followed by Ampicillin, 81.79%, Ciprofloxacin, 79.32%, Nalidixic acid, 77.42%, Cefodoxime, 71.47%, Cephalothin, 69.62%, Tetracycline, 67.81%, Ceftazidime/clavulanic acid, 59.28%, Ceftriaxone, 53.80%, Cefepime, 32.75% and Cefoperazone/sulbactam, 23.70%. While Imipenem is the prominent drug of choice for urinary tract infections.
