BACKGROUNDUrinary Tract Infections (UTI) are the most common and important nosocomial infections, especially among diabetic patients. Emergence of multi-drug resistance and biofilm formation by these pathogens lead to chronic and recurrent infections. Our study aims at detection of multi-drug resistant uropathogens and biofilm formation by them.Aims and Objective-Identification and isolation of significant multi-drug resistant uropathogens in diabetic patients. Detection of biofilm formation by these multi-drug resistant uropathogens by TCP, TM and CRA methods and comparison of these three methods for their efficacy.Settings and Design-This is a hospital-based prospective cross-sectional study carried out among the Diabetic patients suffering from UTI in a tertiary care hospital for a period of six months.
