Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern Of Gram Negative Bacteria Isolated From Urine Samples In Aba
ABSTRACT
The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of
Gram negative bacteria isolated from urine samples from Ekeoma Specialist
Hospital, Aba was done between November-December, 2013. A total of urine samples
were collected from 15 males and 35 females and cultured on Cystein Lactose
Electrolyte Deficient (CLEO) agar. Fourteen (28%) of the samples produced
significant growth Gram negative bacteria. The Gram negative bacterial isolates
with highest-occurrence was Escherichia coli; (S0%) followed by Klebsiella sp
2(28.6%) and then Proteus mirabilis 4%). Of the 14 isolates, 10 were sensitive
to Gentamycin, 3 were sensitive to Erythromycin, Nitrofurantoin and
Cotrimoxazole, respectively. All the isolates were resistant to Augmentin,
Cefuroxim, Cloxacin, Ceftazidine and Ciprofloxacin. This study underscores the
need for rational use of antibiotics and continuous monitoring of the
antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Jrinary pathogens so as to reduce the
incidence of antimicrobial treatment failure
