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.
