E.coli is a common cause of urinary tract infections in the town of Nir in ۲۰۱۹

Background and Aim : Increasing resistance of bacteria to antimicrobial agents is a major problem worldwide. Therefore, it is important to know the strains status of urinary tract infections versus common antibiotics in treatment. Different types of bacteria lead to infection. This study was conducted in ۲۰۱۹ with the aim of investigating the bacterial causes of urinary tract infections and determining their antibiotic resistance in urban and rural population visitors to Nir Health Center.Methods : This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on ۳۳۷ people referred to Nir Health Center in ۲۰۱۹. The morphology and detection of isolated bacteria were performed using hot staining and differential biochemical experiments were performed. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by the Karbi-Baer method. And antibiotic disks such as cotrimoxazole, nalidixic acid, gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, tetracycline, ceftizoxime, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, and amikacin were used.Results : Of the ۳۳۷ patients studied, ۹۴.۲% were women and ۵.۸% were men. In the statistical studies, it was observed that ۷۳.۲% of positive cases are in terms of cultivation in rural areas and ۲۶.۸ cases are in urban areas.The most common causes of infection include E.coli (۴۴.۲%), Staphylococcus aureus (۳۱.۲%), Staphylococcus epidermis (۱۱.۲%), Staphylococcus saprophyticus (۴.۶%), Proteus (۳.۴%), respectively. The species were Enterobacteriaceae (۳.۲%). Regardless of the type of bacterium, the highest resistance was to septicemia (۳۸.۲%) and the lowest resistance to nitrofurantoin (۸%). E.coli has been shown to be the most common cause of urinary tract infections.Conclusion : According to the results of this study, the most common cause of urinary tract infection in adults is E.coli. The rural population is more polluted than the urban population, and the species have the highest resistance to septicemia and the lowest resistance to nitrofurantoin.
