The Uropathogens Structure and Prevalence in the Urinary Truct Infection in Children

Abstract

The purpose was to monitor the bacteriological urine studies in children with urinary tract infection (UTI) in departments of multidisciplinary hospital. 1 838 results of bacteriological examinations of urine samples of children with urinary tract infection were analyzed for 7 years (2007-2013). The obtained data were processed using the methods of parametric analysis. The urine microbial spectrum differed between ambulatory patients and the patients hospitalized in specialized departments, and it also depended on department profile and patient's age. The most frequent uropathogen was E. coli (33,3 ± 7,5) - (65,0 ± 7,5) %. But, a decreasing tendency of E. coli importance in the urinary tract infection has been observed. The leading role in children's UTI etiology in various departments of multidisciplinary hospital also plays Enterococcus faecalis, which is the second most common uropathogen in hospitalized patients with UTI and has paramount importance in the development of UTI in newborns - to (75,0 ± 6,8) %.
