“…Previous studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of UTIs in female patients is higher than in male patients worldwide, especially in Africa, Asia, and South Asian countries 10,57,58 . Several studies in Bangladesh have reported similar results 3,6,7,41,59 . The anatomical structure of women, such as the shorter urethra, being very close to the vagina and anal orifice, hormonal changes during the menopausal period, during sexual intercourse receiving bacteria from their partner, use of contraceptive materials, and involvement in sexual activities using both the vagina and anal orifice, might be the potential reasons for the higher prevalence of UTIs in female patients 3,60 .…”

“…Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the second most common infection, affecting 150 million people, both males and females, annually worldwide 1‐5 . However, females are more susceptible to UTIs than males because their urethra is typically shorter and more conveniently located near the rectum, which makes them vulnerable to uropathogenic bacteria and causes infection 3,6‐12 . More than 77% of UTI patients are females of various ages 13‐15 .…”

Background and AimsAntibiotic resistance presents a significant global public health challenge, particularly for urinary tract infections (UTIs), and is notably severe in developing countries. Surveillance of the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of UTI‐causing bacteria is crucial for effective treatment selection. This study aimed to analyze these patterns in bacteria isolated from the urine samples of patients at Mughda Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh.MethodsA retrospective study (January 2019 to December 2020) at Mugdha Medical College and Hospital, Dhaka, examined clinical and laboratory data from patients with positive urine cultures (≥105 CFU/mL). The study classified patients into four age groups: children (1–<18 years), young adults (18–<33 years), middle‐aged adults (33–50 years), and old adults (>50 years). The standard Kirby‐Bauer method was used to assess antibiotic sensitivity to 28 common antibiotics.ResultsAmong 243 positive urine cultures in both community‐ and hospital‐acquired UTIs, Escherichia coli was the most common uropathogen (65.84%), followed by Klebsiella spp. (12.34%), Enterococcus spp. (8.23%), and other types of bacteria.ConclusionOld adults are particularly vulnerable to UTIs, with E. coli being the predominant causative agent in the study region. The observed antimicrobial resistance patterns underscore the necessity of judicious antibiotic selection to effectively treat UTIs across different age groups.

“…Inadequate data are available to quantify the issue and there is no regular national surveillance of antibiotic resistance 10 . To improve the efficacy of empirical treatment, it is critical to identify the bacteria that cause UTIs and evaluate whether they are resistant to commonly used antibiotics [11][12][13] . The goal of the current investigation was to shed light on the bacterial causes of urinary tract infections and identify the E. coli isolates' patterns of resistance.…”

Background and Objective: Escherichia coli is the most prevalent bacteriological agent responsible for Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in humans, as well as the most common nosocomial infection in developed countries. The broad availability of antimicrobial drugs has made them difficult to treat due to the emergence of infections with rising antibiotic resistance. The study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital in Sirajganj on a urinary tract infection with Escherichia coli for isolation and diagnosis of antibiotic resistance. Materials and Methods: Urine samples (n = 296) were obtained from patients exhibiting signs and symptoms of urinary tract infections. Bacteria were extracted and identified using conventional biochemical techniques. The Kirby-Bauer method was used to determine E. coli resistance to various antibiotics. Results: A bacterial etiological agent was recovered from 79 samples, with E. coli having he ighest revalence 54, 8.4%), ollowed y taphylococcus ureus 12.6%), Pseudomonas species (10.1%) and Klebsiella species (8.9%). The Escherichia coli was highly resistant to Ceftazidime (85.2%), Ceftriaxone (72.2%), Amoxycillin (68.5%) and Nalidixic acid (64.8%), followed by intermediate resistance to Cefuroxime (59.3%), Netilmicin (51.9%), Azithromycin (50.0%) and Ciprofloxacin (40.7%) and low resistance to Gentamycin (31.5%), Nitrofurantoin (27.8%) and Imipenem (13.0%). Out of 79 Escherichia coli isolates, 60 (75.9%) were declared as multiple drug-resistant and 2 (2.5%) were extensive drug-resistant. Conclusion: It has been determined that multiple medication-resistant Escherichia coli is to blame for the majority of human urinary tract infections.

Objective: We aimed to analyze clinical, radiological, and laboratory differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients admitted to hospital due to coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Methods: Patients hospitalized in the COVID-19 clinic between February 2022 and August 2022 were included in the study. Demographic, clinical features, and treatment results. Furthermore, the COVID-19 vaccination status of the cases was recorded. The cases were divided into two groups as those with and without COVID vaccination and compared. Results: A total of 215 patients were included in our study, and the patients were divided into 2 groups according to their vaccination status: those who were unvaccinated against COVID-19 (n=100) and those who vaccinated COVID-19 (n=115). The presence of comorbid chronic diseases and cancer was lower in the unvaccinated group. The duration of hospitalization was longer in the unvaccinated group than in the vaccinated group (9.6 and 7.1 days, respectively) (p<0.001). While there was no difference between the two groups in terms of the radiological involvement pattern, the number of involved segments was significantly higher in the unvaccinated group (p<0.05). The number of patients who received high-dose glucocorticoid therapy in the unvaccinated group was higher (28 cases vs. 11 cases; p<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of transfer of patients to the intensive care unit (p>0.05). 11.3% (13/115) of the patients in the vaccinated group died, whereas 14% (14/100) died in the unvaccinated group. Conclusions: The vaccinated cases who were infected with COVID-19 had a shorter duration of hospitalization and lower severity of radiological involvement. The requirement for pulse steroids was also less compared with unvaccinated individuals. Despite having chronic diseases and cancer, which is considered to have a significant effect on mortality in COVID-19 patients. In addition, although the vaccinated group was older, they had mortality rates similar to those of unvaccinated subjects.
