Diagnosis of the Urinary Tract Infection through microbiological urine culture, in “Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola "Hospital. A Two years study

Abstract

The Urinary Tract Infection suggests the presence of microorganisms within the Urinary Tract. It was carried out a retrospective descriptive observational study about the diagnosis of the Urinary Tract Infection through microbiological urine culture in the medical services of the provincial hospital in Ciego of Avila. The universe and the sample of the study were composed by the total of urine cultures that were received in the microbiology´s laboratory from May 2009 to May 2011. The results obtained in the urine cultures were analyzed. It was acquainted which was the frequency of isolation of the etiological agents involved in the Urinary Tract Infection in the services and it were determined the resistance patterns of the microorganisms in the face of different anti-infective tested. The bigger percent of positivity was obtained in patients from external consultation. The percent of useless samples behaved within adequate parameters. It was presented Low indexes of resistance in the face of nalidixic acid and the nitrofurantoin did not behave in that way in the face of the Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole Combination whose resistance´s index was high. The Escherichia Coli was the microorganism with bigger frequency of isolations followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris and Proteus Mirabilis.
