Background:
Multidrug Resistant Uropathogenic Escherichia
coli (UPEC) is becoming a global concern. Therefore, the purpose of the
present study was to see the status of multidrug resistant UPEC strains.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a private
Hospital in Dhaka city from July 2013 to December 2013 for a period of six
months. All the patients who were attended in the OPD or admitted in the IPD of
the hospital presenting the clinical features of UTI at any age with both sexes
were included as the study population. Patients without significant pus cell
within urine, patients under antibiotic therapy or incomplete data were
excluded from this study. E. coli was
isolated and identified by standard methods and antibiotic sensitivity testing
was performed by disk diffusion method.
Results: A
total number of 57 UPEC were isolated of which 9 isolates were isolated from
male and 48 isolates were from female. Resistant to four groups, five groups,
six groups and seven groups of drugs were found in 17.5% (95% CI 7.64 to
27.36%), 14.0% (95% CI 4.99 to 23.01%), 10.5% (95% CI 2.54 to 18.46%) and 8.8%
(95% CI 1.45 to 16.15%) uropathogenic E.
coli respectively. The total number of MDR UPEC was 92.9% (95% CI 86.23 to
99.57%). In a total multidrug resistant uropathogenic E. coli were found in 92.9% isolates.
Conclusion: In
conclusion multidrug resistant uropathogenic E. coli is found in a very high rate.
