Introduction: Urinary Tract Infections ) UTIs (contribute to hospital infections and occupy the first rank, and catheter- related UTIs are the most common type. Due to the increasing emergence of antibiotic- resistant isolates, knowing the latest status of the bacterial pattern and the antibiotic sensitivity status of these isolates resistant to other available antibiotic agents can provide effective treatment patterns for clinicians.
Methods and Materials: In this cross-sectional study, all cases of catheter- related urinary infections after surgery referred to Porsina Hospital in Rasht City are examined over two years.The results of the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of isolates isolated from urinary catheter infections relative to routine antibiotics used in the region are extracted from laboratory results and reported.
Results: In this study, 36 patients were identified as suffering from catheter-related urinary tract infections. Among them, 52.78% were male patients, 47.22% were female patients, and the majority of the researched samples were in the general and special care departments. The proportion of bacterial species isolated from urine samples was Enterobacter at 36.1% and Escherichia coli at 27.8%, respectively. The highest antibiotic resistance rate of bacteria isolated from urinary tract infections caused by catheters was ceftazidime at 72.7%, followed by cefepime at 66.7% and ciprofloxacin at 47.1%.
Conclusion: The results of a recent study have determined the regional pattern of bacterial causes of urinary tract infections related to catheters. This information can lead to the improvement of infection control programs in regional health centers, as well as the optimization of laboratory reports to help the bedside and treat patients
