Abstract

Introduction: Urinary tract infections are caused by the colonisation of the various organs of the urinary tract by microorganisms. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria isolated from urinary tract infections and improve the health care of patients with urinary tract infections. Methods: This is a prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study that took place over three months, from 2 February to 2 May 2022. Results: Bacterial identifications showed a predominance of Escherichia coli (E. coli) with 52%, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) with 13%, Enteroccus spp., with 9%, Enterobacter cloacae complex (E. cloacae) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) with 8% each. and the other germs are weakly represented. The antibiogram showed that certain antibiotics were active on the majority of strains, including imipenem (75%), cefoxitin (65%) and ertapenem (64%), amikacin (61%). All age groups were affected by urinary tract infections with a predominance in the age group of 51 years and over (54%), and 25 to 50 years are the most represented in our study with respectively 54% and 28%. The Marital Status shows that Married people were mostly exposed to urinary tract infections with a prevalence of 78%. The distribution according to socio-professional characteristics showed that Housewives were the most represented (30%). The majority of infected patients came from the Commune of Ratoma (35%). Conclusion: Urinary tract infections are a major public health problem whose health management necessarily involves an antibiogram and possibly the monitoring of hematological parameters.
