Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns Of Bacterial Isolates From Patients With Urinary Catheter At Federal Medical Center, Umuahia:- Godwin, Chukwudi T
ABSTRACT
The
antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates from patients with
urinary catheter at Federal Medical Center, Umuahia, Ahia state, of Nigeria was
studied. A total of33 catheter urine samples were collected from patients
admitted at Federal Medical Center, Umuahia. Samples collected were cultured on
MacConkey agar and Cystein Lactose Electrolyte Deficient (CLED) agar using the
streaking method. Pure colonies of isolate were biochemically characterized.
identified and the antibiotic susceptibility test performed using Muller Hinton
agar. Out of the 33 samples analyzed, 21 (63.64%) produced significant growth
with 23 microbial isolates. The bacterial isolates included E. coil 8 (34.70%),
followed by Pseudomnas aeruginosa 5 (21.74%), Klebsiella sp 4(17.39%),
Staphylococcus aureus 3 (13.04%) and Proteus mirabilis 3 (13.04%). The isolates
showed high resistance to commonly used antibiotics such as arnpicillin (100%),
tetracycline (95.65%), augumentin (91.30%), cotrimaxole (91.30%), gentamycin
(82.61%) and nalixidic acid (82.61%). Intermediate level of resistance was
found against ofloxacin (69.57%) and perfloxacin (60.87%). Only nitrofurantoin
and ciprofloxacin (56.52% and 43.48% sensitivity respectively) appeared most
effective. Therefore, treatment of patients with catheter associated urinary
tract infection in this institution should be guided by the result of
susceptibility test of isolates and based on doctor's prescription so as to
reduce the incidence of multiple-resistance.
