Empirical Use of Antibiotics in Urinary Tract Infection (Resistance Pattern of Bacteria Isolated from Urine Culture & Sensitivity of patients).
Ophthalmol Update Jan ;16(2):665-8.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine pattern of bacterial isolates from urine of local community and their sensitivity to various antibiotics as the current knowledge on antimicrobial susceptibility is essential for appropriate therapy. Material and Methods: This study was performed in Medical Unit of Gajju Khan Medical College Swabi from 2015-2017. We examined 162 patient of local community of Swabi and nearby districts between 14 to 90 years of age. Their urine sample microscopy was done followed by culture and sensitivity testing. Results: E. coli was 88% resistant to ampicillin, co Amoxiclave, 86 % resistant to ciprofloxacin, and 66% resistant to Cotrimaxazole. Klebsiella Pneumoni showed resistant to tetracyclin in 100% cases where as it showed 88 % resistance to Ampicillin, Co amoxiclave, ciprofloxacin and 66% resistance to Co trimaxazole. Enterococcus showed resistance to Tetracyclin, Ciproflaxacin, Erythromycin. Conclusion: The results show that E coli is resistant to Ampicillin, Co Amoxiclave, ciprofloxacin, Co-trimoxazole. Klebsiella was resistant to tetracycline apart from above antibiotics.
