Study at Suburban Diagnostics of more than 7500 urine isolates in female patients indicated
as most common organism.
Why is treating a UTI a challenge?
Studies indicated different Drug Sensitivity patterns for the same organism
% of cases in women found sensitive to the antibiotics | Sensitivity Pattern (in %) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Amoxi-Clav | Cefixime | Nitrofurantoin | Fluoroquinolone | |
E.Coli | 48 | 36 | 74 | 35 |
Klebsilla | 44 | 44 | 19 | 61 |
Pseudomonas | 0 | 0 | 0 | 64 |
Proteus | 65 | 69 | 0 | 51 |
ESBL: Extended Spectrum b Lactamase
The difference in sensitivity pattern is due to variable ESBL production in gram –ve organism with the age group
Therefore
Urine culture test is essential in each case of UTI
