Antibiotic Susceptibility of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in Urinary Tract Infection in A Tertiary Care Centre, Kishanganj, Bihar

Abstract

Aims and objectives: Common infection is in urinary tract due to very common organism, pseudomonas aeruginosa but treatment is very difficult because of resistance to many common broad spectrum antibiotics as a result of its frequent use. Hence the aim of this study to detect the spectrum of sensitivity to antibiotics in pseudomonas aeruginosa induced urinary tract infection in this community.

Materials and methods: From total 1031 patients morning midstream urine sample (male 51, female 90) were taken for culture and sensitivity and analysis was done by SPSS software. Results: This gram negative bacteria was highly sensitive to colistin, polymyxin and imipenem, moderately to piperacillin-tazobactam, aminoglycosides and meropenem, hundred percent resistant to amoxicillin and chloramphenicol, highly resistant to fourth generation cephalosporin except ceftazidime, ertapenem, azithromycin.

Conclusion: To prevent progression in developing resistance proper, judicial use of antibiotic is of utmost importance so that mutation in bacteria will not be entertained.
