Isolation, Identification, and Antibiotic Susceptibility Assessment of Bacterial Isolates in Urinary Tract Infections at a Tertiary Care Hospital

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) cause health problems, especially in tertiary care settings where patients are at higher risk. The aim of this study was to isolate, characterize and evaluate the antimicrobial resistance patterns of bacteria isolated from patients with
urinary tract infections in a tertiary hospital. The aim is to understand in detail the major pathogens that cause urinary tract infections and their resistance data; this will be important for the treatment of antibiotic disease and will improve patient outcomes. test samples of patients. Isolates were identified by biochemical tests and confirmed using molecular methods. Antibiotic resistance of these isolates was assessed using the Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Major diseases are the most isolated diseases. Antibiotics are important, especially antibiotics such as ampicillin and
trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole. The fact that a majority of the isolates showed multiple resistance indicates that vaccination programs urgently need to be continued and improved. to guide empirical treatment and inform hospital antibiotic policy. This
study highlights the evolving nature of urinary tract infections and the importance of developing appropriate treatment strategies to address the increasing problem of antibiotic-resistant urinary tract infections in these settings.
