BackgroundThe resistance of antimicrobial agents in pathogenic bacteria has become a significant public health problem. According to Magiorakos et al,(1) this pattern occasionally extends to multidrug-resistant (MDR) or extensively drug-resistant (XDR) or even pandrug drug-resistant (PDR). Urinary tract infection (UTI) is considered as a different type of infection which is caused by the abovementioned resistant bacteria. It is known that UTI is the most common infection in the world, especially Bangladesh. This infection is due to the main colonization of normal and opportunistic microflora (2). In the third world country like Bangladesh, the rate of UTI patients is high due to poor hygiene, long time catheterization, uncontrolled sexual intercourse, pregnancy, spermicidal contraception, and the like (3-6).Many of antibiotics and their super generations are used to prevent the UTIs. Unfortunately, several studies indicate that many uropathogens have become resistant to a wide range of antibiotics due to abuse, overuse,
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.
