“…Only 35% showed significant bacterial growth. According to the studies by Salvatore et al, (2011), Parveen et al, and Sharmin et al, (2010), only 40-50% showed significant bacterial growth (Salvatore et al, 2011;Parveen et al, 2011;Sharmin et al, 2010). A higher rate of isolation was reported from a study in UK (54.2% single growth and 21.6% mixed growth) by Perry and Freydiere, (2007).…”

“…According to the studies by Salvatore et al, (2011), Parveen et al, (2011) 51 andSharmin et al, (2010) predominant growth was Escherichia coli (Salvatore et al, 2011;Parveen et al, 2011;Sharmin et al, 2010 Lakshmi et al, (2004) and Perry and Freydiere (2007) suggested that best advantage of chromogenic media over other media was easy recognition of mixed growth and preventing the need for subculturing and performing multiple biochemical tests (Perry et al, 2007). Cystein Lactose Electrolyte Deficient Agar with Andrade's indicator showed colour changes depending on the production of acid by different organisms.…”

“…According to the National Ambulatory medical care survey and National Hospital Ambulatory medical care survey, UTI accounted for nearly 7 million office visits and 1 million emergency department visits, resulting in 100,000 hospitalizations. This situation is further complicated by the fact that accurate diagnosis depends on both the presence of symptoms and a positive urine culture, although in most outpatient setting this diagnosis is made without the benefit of culture (Salvatore, 2011).…”

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most frequently seen medical complications in pregnancy. UTI in pregnancy poses risk of complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, still birth and pyelonephritis. A prospective study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of urinary tract infection among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in Amassoma and to identify the bacteria involved. A total of 138 urine samples were analyzed and cultured by the standard loop technique on cystein lactose electrolyte deficient (CLED) medium, MacConkey and blood agar. A prevalence rate of 25.3% was observed in this study and the relationship between age and bacteriuria was non-significant (P>0.05), which signifies that bacteriuria is independent on age, while the relationship between bacteuria and trimester was statistically significant as P<0.05. Escherichia coli (40%) was the most common bacteria isolated followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (22.9%). Screening of pregnant women for bacteriuria during every antenatal visit should be considered an essential care in the community to avoid complications in pregnancy at an early stage.

“…This is because women have shorter urethra, so it is easier for the germs to move into the bladder. Having sex can make easier for germs to get into urethra and women will get infection if they do not drink enough fluids [3][4] .…”

Background: Urinary tract infection is a common medical problem for women throughout their lifetime. Recurrence after urinary tract infection (rUTI) is common in adult women. The majority of recurrences are believed to be reinfection from extra urinary sources such as rectum or vagina. The treatment of recurrent urinary tract infection also inflicts an economic burden on the patient's life. Hence, we must use an effective antibiotic that prevents the recurrence of UTI and improve the functional capacity and quality of life in women. This study aims to study the effectiveness of different antibiotics in increasing the functional capacity and reducing the economic burden in UTI women. Methodology: This is a prospective, observational study, conducted in a total of 50 patients at General Medicine Department of a tertiary care hospital in Coimbatore for a period of six months. The patient demographic details were collected from the medical records or direct patient interview. Urine analysis, urine culture and antibiotic sensitivity reports were also collected and entered in the data collection form. The functional capacity and quality of life scores before and after antibiotic administration were calculated using the Leicester Impact scale. Results: The study shows that the urinary tract infection mainly affects women between the ages 55 and 65 yrs. Escherichia coli is the principal microorganism that causes urinary tract infection the most and the major risk factor is menopause(24%) and the least risk factor is urosepsis (10%). Mostly prescribed antibiotic is combination of Cefoperazone and Sulbactam and its recurrence rate is 4%. Conclusion: From the study, it is concluded that amikacin is the most cost effective medication with no recurrence rate and with a mean number of days of hospital stay of four days.
