Prevalence of Bacteria Causing Urinary Tract Infections and its Antibiotic Resistance at Public Hospital Establishment of Mila, Algeria: a retrospective study

Abstract

This work aims to study the epidemiological profile of urinary tract infections in public hospital establishment ofMila. This retrospective study (from 2019 to 2022) is carried out on the CBEU of patients at the level of the hospital departments. From this, we were able to collect 13 different bacterial strains, whose main species belong mainly to the group of Enterobacteriaceae. The strains Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae are the most noticed bacteria in the PHE. Statistics ofurinary tract infections in women (62%) is higher than in men. Thus, the age groups most affected are between 15 to 50 years old. In addition, it was reported that the urinary tract infections dominate the Women’sInternal Medicine department (32%), and men’s IM. (20%).The multiresistance of selected germs was studied. Among these isolated bacteria we could note the  different type strains; ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae and 3GC-R Enterobacteriaceae (mainly E.coli (46%)), Enterobacter cloacae (23%), imipenem-resistant A. baumanii (20%) , and MRSA (methicillin-resistant S. aureus) (13%).
