RESISTANCE OF BACTERIA TAKEN FROM PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS IN THI-QAR PROVINCE TO VARIOUS TYPES OF ANTIBIOTICS
Keywords:
UTI, Pathogenic Bacteria, Antibiotics ResistanceAbstract
Urinary tract infections are among the most common ailments worldwide, affecting 150 million people a year. UTIs can substantially impair a patient's everyday life as well as their capacity to contribute to society. The current investigation was carried out in January and February of 2024. Forty UTI patients were enrolled in this study: fifteen males (aged 24-90) and twenty-five females (aged 15-84). The commonness of urinary tract infections among female sufferers is higher than of male patients, with samples taken from Al Hussein Hospital demonstrating that 62% of female patients and 37% of male patients affected. All patient age categories were represented in the study samples; the age groups with the highest infection rates, at 40% and 33%, respectively, were those aged 30–40 and 15–30. The current examination looked at several varieties of urinary tract infection-causing bacterial isolates, Escherichia coli had the greatest infection rate (29%), followed by Staphlococcus species (23%), Klebsellia (18%), and Proteus and Pseudomonas (12%). Only 6% of all patients were infected with Enterococcus.
The study aimed to comprehending the relationship between the patient's sociodemographic details, especially age and gender, and the pattern of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in urinary tract infection patients, as well as assessing the results of tests for antibiotic susceptibility for specific isolated bacteria.
