Objectives: To assess the Cultural sensitivity pattern of urine for the year of 2024 in IITH lab.
Methods: A retrospective study was carried out on registered patients presented in IITH during the year 01-01-2024 to 31-12-2024.
Results: Out of 181 samples (83 males, 98 females), 60 (33%) were culture positive. The most common isolates were E. coli (43%) and Klebsiella (40%), followed by Pseudomonas, Proteus, and a few others in low frequency. Antibiotic sensitivity patterns showed high effectiveness of Meropenem (91.2%) and Imipenem (90%), followed by Amikacin (74.5%) and Gentamycin (73.3%). In contrast, high resistance was noted against fluoroquinolones (Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Norfloxacin) and Co-trimoxazole, making them less reliable treatment options.
Conclusion: This highlights the predominance of E. coli and Klebsiella in infections and the rising concern of multidrug resistance, with carbapenems remaining the most effective agents.
