Aim of the work: Assessment of the microbial species from diabetic and nondiabetic illness and their antibiotics susceptibility patterns. Materials and Methods: Two hundred urine specimens were collected from illness in a duration period extending from July 2018 to July 20119 at Badr University Hospital-Helwan, Cairo, Egypt. Samples were collecting cultivated on MacConkey, blood agar, and Sabouraud dextrose media. The microbial isolates were identified by microbiological methods. The antibiotic sensitivity was evaluated by the VITEK 2 compact automatic system and disk diffusion method. Results: Only 120 samples exhibit growth with a prevalence rate of 60%, from total samples collected. The results revealed UTIs were found to be significantly higher in diabetic illness (79%) compared to nondiabetic illness (41%). One hundred and twenty microbial species were recovered from collected urine specimens (79 from diabetic and 41 nondiabetics). Pathogenic bacteria & Candida were represented with 96 isolates (80.0 %) and 24 isolates (20.0), respectively. Among the 96 bacterial isolates, Escherichia coli constituted, Escherichia coli (72.80%), Klebsiella pneumonia (22.88%), and Staphylococcus aureus (4.16%). Meropenem, imipenem, trimethoprim/ sulphamethoxazole, and norfloxacin highly effective antibiotics against E. coli and Klebsiella pneumonia while amoxicillin, erythromycin, and vancomycin low effective. Conclusion: Diabetes disease a remarkable factor that stimulates UTIs. Higher frequency resistance to antibiotics in this study renders its indecency for empirical treatment and development of new empirical treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
