Abstract :

Background: Diabetics are more prone for infections, as well infections can lead to various complications. The aim of the study is to isolate aerobic bacteria and its antibiotic sensitivity pattern among symptomatic and asymptomatic UTI Diabetic patients. Methods: Urine samples of both symptomatic and asymptomatic group of Diabetic patients were collected and sent to Department of Microbiology for culture and sensitivity analysis. All urine samples were assessed at aerobic culture lab using standard techniques, semi quantitative culture was done. Various Organisms were isolated and antibiotic sensitivity testing was done by Modified Kirby Bauer method using CLSI guidelines. Results: Organisms isolated among Symptomatic UTI diabetic patients were: Escherichia coli - 24%, Klebsiella pneumoniae & Staphylococcus aureus - 14%, CoNS & Proteus mirabilis - 4%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa & Enterobacter aerogenes - 6% and among asymptomatic UTI diabetic patients: Escherichia coli - 10%, Klebsiella pneumoniae - 8%, Staphylococcus aureus - 6%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa & Enterobacter aerogenes - 2%. Most of the isolates of both symptomatic and asymptomatic UTI shown more resistant to amoxyclav, cefotaxime and shown about 100% sensitive to gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin. Conclusion: As Antibiotic Resistance towards various organisms are also reporting more and more now-a-days. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic UTI has to treat in a proper way and diagnosis by culture is must, as poly microbial organisms are usually detect.
