Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are amongst the most common infections encountered in clinical practice (1) . Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections in women, and 50% to 60% of adult women experience a UTI during their lifetime.. Aim Of The Study To study the emergence of quinolone resistance in UTI in gynaecological patients. Objectives To isolate and identify the uropathogens from the urine samples. And To detect the antimicrobial resistance of uropathogens to fluoroquinolones. A total of 300 urine culture sensitivity reports were analyzed of patients who were suspected to be having urinary tract infection, In the present study, a total of 300 subjects were studied Escherichia coli (33%) was the most common uropathogen, Klebsiella(28%) being the second commonest. Maximum resistance was seen in nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, followed by norfloxacin. The drug most sensitive to the uropathogens studied was amikacin, followed by P/T and imipenem . Conclusion As we face a serious global resistance problem we need to adopt a series of measures to address the problem
