Neeti Mishra, Shailendra Mohan Tripathi, *Mahak Jain, Richa Mishra, Sangram Singh Patel and Mukesh Kumar Singh
ABSTRACT
Objective: To screen various pathogens isolated from urinary tract infection in geriatric patients and to determine their antibiotic sensitivity pattern against the commonly used antibiotics. Materials and Methods: A mid-stream clean catch urine was collected from 630 patients carefully then transported to laboratory and culture and antibiotic susceptibility was performed. Result: In total 630 samples, 380 showed positive growth and 250 showed no growth. In the 380 positive growth 180 sample showed significant growth while 200 showed no significant growth. Bacterial agents were isolated from 180 samples, which showed significant growthwere identified as: Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus species, CONS, E. coli, Keywords: Bacteriuria, Antibiotic sensitivity pattern, Significant Bacteriuria, Urine Culture.
