Studies of resistance pattern of bacteria related with urinary tract infections

ABSTRACT

Six different species of bacteria isolated in previous study from two hundred cases of UTIs were subjected to determine the resistance pattern against seven different groups of antimicrobial agents. The front line antibiotics for treating urinary tract infections due to Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Staphyloccus aureus and Proteus species should include Cephradine, Ofloxacin, Cefaclor, Cephalothin and Pipemidic acid. However for treating UTI due to pseudomonas species, the drug of choice must be a member of fluoroquinoline group [norfloxacin, ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin]
