Abstract
Objective: To study the pathogenic bacteria in urinary tract infections in patients with urinary catheters and evaluated their antibiotic resistance at 108 Military Central Hospital. Subject and method: Descriptive study, 183 urine specimens of patients with urinary tract infections due to urinary catheterization. Result and conclusion: The incidence of E. coli was highest at 41.53%, followed by K. pneumoniae at more than 15%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa were 10.38% and Acinetobacter baumannii were 4.37%. The third and fourth generation cephalosporins resistance rates of E. coli ranged from 40% to 61.5%. We had not seen resistance to carbapenems. K. pneumoniae had a high rate of resistance to quinolone and third generation cephalosporins, the prevalence of resistance to imipenem was 9.4% and meropenem was 6.5%. Pseudomonas aeruginosa had a very high rate of resistance to most antibiotics, resistance to cefepime and amikacin were 36.7% and 22.7%. The resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii with imipenem was 40%, meropenem was 39.1% and colistin was 0.0%.
