Ethiological and Therapeutical Particularities of Urinary Infections in Urological Patients

Abstract

The aim of our retrospective study was to analyze in dynamics the etiological spectrum of the urinary infections in patients hospitalized in the Urology ward of the Clinical County Emergency Hospital Braşov during 2011-2013. The levels of the antimicrobial resistance of the implicated germs were also evaluated. The main involved agent in both studied years was E. coli, followed by other Enterobacteriaceae (Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Proteus spp., Serratia spp., Citrobacter spp.), Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and non-fermentative bacilli (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp.). There were registered different levels of resistance to the tested antibiotics. We have observed an increase of the shares of Extended Spectrum beta-lactamase-producing strains and of the High-Level Aminoglycoside Resistance strains.
