Background: There is a need to introduce clinical pharmacology at the undergraduate level in order to improve rational prescribing of medicines. The present study was undertaken to analyze drug utilization pattern of genitourinary infections to teach certain basic skills to MBBS students which will form an integral component of practicing rational therapeutics. Methods: The retrospective study was conducted by Pharmacology Department in Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical and Health Sciences (SGRRIM and HS). A total of 92 prescriptions were collected by second professional MBBS students and randomly evaluated for prescribing pattern using WHO drug indicators. Results: A total of 92 prescriptions were analyzed. Male:female ratio was 1.96:1. Age wise distribution was done: 0-15 years were 14 (15.21%), 16-30 years were 26 (28.26%), 31-45 years were 24 (26.08%), 46-60 years were 19 (20.65%), and >60 years were 9 (9.78%). A total of 260 drugs were prescribed. 116 (44.61%) antimicrobials, 70 (26.92%) antacids and antiemetics, 40 (15.38%) analgesics, 11 (4.23%) urinary alkalizers, 9 (3.23%) antifibrinolytics, and 14 (5.38%) miscellaneous drugs were prescribed. 144 (55.38%) injectable and 116 (44.61%) oral drugs were prescribed. Numbers of fi xed-dose combinations were 32 (34.78%). 2.82 drugs per prescription were prescribed. 171 (65.76%) drugs were prescribed from National List of Essential Medicines 2013 (NLEM 2013). Majority of drugs were prescribed by brand names. Conclusion: Majority of drugs were prescribed from NLEM 2013. The main purpose of undergraduate medical curriculum is to develop the requisite diagnostic and therapeutic skills of a basic doctor. It is only by drug utilization studies that burden of diseases and corresponding utilization of drugs can be measured.

“…8 Therapeutic decision should be based on accurate, up-to date anti-microbial susceptibility pattern. 9 Investigating epidemiology of UTIs (prevalence, risk factors, bacterial isolates and antibiotic sensitivity) is fundamental for care givers and health planners to guide the expected interventions. 10 The objective of this study was to identify the spectrum of most common organisms responsible for urinary tract.…”

Background: Urinary tract infection is defined as bacteriuria along with urinary symptoms. It is one of the most common bacterial infections in humans and a major cause of morbidity. UTI has become difficult to treat because of appearance of pathogens with increasing resistance to antimicrobial agents. The objective of this study was to determine the bacteriological profile of pathogens responsible for urinary tract infection and to assess the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the causative uropathogens.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed at the hospital of Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences, Kulasekharam during January 1, 2016 to December 12, 2016. Institutional ethical committee clearance was obtained. We surveyed 628 patients, who had clinical manifestations of UTI. Urine specimens were cultured for isolation of the microbial agents of UTI. The isolated bacteria were identified using biochemical tests. Data was entered in Microsoft Excel Version 2016.Statistical analysis was done using SPSS TRIAL VERSION 21C.Results: The commonest organism isolated overall was extended spectrum beta lactamase positive E. coli (35.5%) followed by extended spectrum beta lactamase negative E. coli and Enterococcus. Females (68.63%) were mostly affected than males in our study. The people in the age group of 41-60 years are found to be more (48.46%) affected than the people of other age groups. The most sensitive oral antibiotic to almost all organisms in our study is Nitrofurantoin followed by Cotrimoxazole and Norfloxacin and among parenteral antibiotics, Amikacin stands first followed by Piperacillin-Tazobactam and Gentamicin. Apart from the above antibiotics, Klebsiellapnemoniae also shows good response to Cefotaxime (96.15%) and Cefipime (96.15%) and Aztreonam (92.3%).Conclusions: From our study, it is observed that the most common causative organism for Urinary tract infection is found to be extended spectrum beta lactamase positive E. coli followed by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase negative E. coli and Enterococcus. The current status of sensitivity of common organism rests mainly on Nitrofurantoin (oral) and Amikacin, Piperacillin-Tazobactam (parenteral).
