ABSTRACT

Background: To detect the prevalence rate of bacterial infection among urinary isolates and to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in the rural area of Rajsamand. Aim: of the study was to find prevalence of uropathogen in this part of world along with to study the antibiogram of UTI cases. Material and Method: A retrospective analysis of bacterial pathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility was done on urine sample s at tertiary care hospital. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done using disc diffusion technique as per the standard of Kirby-Bauer method. Results: Out of total 600 samples, 193 samples were found positive. Out of which males 74(38%) and females119(62%) were positive. Females showed higher prevalence rate of UTI than males. Gram negative bacteria were found in high prevalence rate than gram positive bacteria. E. coli 101(52 %) was the most common organism, followed by Klebsiella 25(13%), CoNs22(11%), Pseudomonas13(7%), CoPs11(6%), Enterococcus12(6%) Candida Sp. 6(3%) and Proteus Sp. 3(2%). Conclusion: There is a need for constant monitoring of susceptibility of specific pathogens in different populations to commonly used anti-microbial agents.
