| description | Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent widespread human microbial disorders involving any part of the urinary tract. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are prevalent all over the world and are known to affect approximately 150 million people each year worldwide. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the demographic and bacterial profile of patients presenting with symptoms of urinary tract infections. Methods: A retrospective study on urine bacteriology over a period of one year between June 2021 to July 2022 was done in the Department of Microbiology, University College of Medical sciences and associated GTB Hospital, Delhi. The data collected was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, Chicago,version 20.0. Result: In this study, a total of 21359 samples were received for urine culture and sensitivity testing. 2265 samples were positive with an overall positivity rate of 10.60% with majority of the positive samples from females. The majority of positive samples (1559; 68.83%) were from age group between 21-60 years of age, females again being predominant gender (914; 58.62%). In outpatient department, inpatient department and in ICU services, Gram negative bacilli were the predominant microorganisms isolated. In case of Staphylococcus aureus, majority ,i.e., 66 (61.68%) out of total 107 of isolates were resistant to methicillin. Conclusion: Our findings support the fact that females in the age group 21-60 are more prone to develop UTIs as compared to males. There is a shift in methicillin resistance of Staphyloccus aureus from hospital acquired to community acquired cases. |
