Retrospective analysis of urine culture results in our clinic: determination of pathogen types and antibiotic resistance in our region

Özet

Aim: Untreated urinary tract infections and increasing resistance to antibiotics are important health problems in pregnant andnon-pregnant women. The aim of this study is to determine "Escherichia coli" (E. Coli) strains and other growing microorganismsisolated from urine samples sent from pregnant and non-pregnant patients in the Gynecology and Obstetrics outpatient clinicin Mardin State Hospital, and evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility profile.Material and Method: The results of reproduction in midstream urine samples obtained from pregnant and non-pregnantwomen who were sent to Mardin State Hospital Microbiology Laboratory with the suspicion of urinary system infection fromthe Gynecology and Obstetrics Outpatient Clinic between January 1, 2018 and June 17, 2020 were retrospectively evaluated.Results: The mean age of pregnant patients was significantly lower than that of the non-pregnant group. While E. Coli andKlebsiella were prominent in the pregnant group, the incidence of E. Coli and Enterococcus spp. had increased in the nonpregnant group.Conclusion: Urinary tract infection remains an important public health problem. To prevent the adverse obstetric consequencesof urinary tract infection during pregnancy, it is important to investigate local susceptibility of microorganisms, especiallycommon factors such as E. Coli, at certain periods.
