Incidence Of Streptococcal Urinary Tract Infection In Adult Attending Mouau Clinic
ABSTRACT
One hundred urine samples were collected from Michael Okpara
University Clinic to determine the incidence of Streptococcal urinary tract
infection in adult. The urine sample was subjected to laboratory analysis to
isolate the organism and antibiotic sensitivity profile of the isolate was
determined using disc diffusion method. Out of the 100 urine samples collected
only 7(7%) produced streptococcal growth whiles the remaining 93(93%) did not
produce growth. Antibiotic sensitivity test was carried out and these 6(85.7%)
isolates were sensitive to ofloxacin, 5(71.4%) isolates were sensitive to
Nalidixic acid, 3(42.8%) isolates were sensitive to Gentamycin and 7(100%) to
Nitrofurantoin. The 7 isolates were resistance to tetracycline and Amoxicillin
and as such did not produce any zone of inhibition. It was discovered that the
rate of Streptococcal UTI on the patient attending MOUAU clinic at the time of
the research is low (7%).
