Background: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a common health issue, particularly among women, often leading to significant morbidity if left untreated. It presents a global health challenge, with substantial impacts on the quality of life and healthcare systems. The study aims to analyze the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of Urinary tract infection, focusing on resistance and sensitivity of different drugs toward different causative agent.
Methods and methodology: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study using data from hospital records describing the prevalence of Urinary tract infection, it’s causative agent and the drugs were sensitive and resistant to in the reported cases of UTI in Jalalabad Regional Clinical Hospital. Data was collected from March 2024 till November 2024.
Objective: The study intends to identify the risk factors, demographic trends, and focusing on resistance and sensitivity of different drugs toward different causative agent in the target population. This topic is vital as Urinary tract infection remains a leading cause of morbidity worldwide, affecting millions annually.
Results: The total of 156 data were collected from Jalalabad Regional Clinical Hospital which shows that the causative agent in most of the cases was found to be Escherichia. Coli, Klebsiella, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus aureus. Out of which Escherichia. coli has the highest prevalence rate. It was found that E. coli is resistive to Amoxicillin is the most and is highly sensitive to Meropenem in the patients of Jalalabad Regional Clinical Hospital.
Conclusion:
This comprehensive analysis highlights the complexity of urinary tract infections in Jalalabad, Kyrgyzstan. The findings underscore the need for enhanced antibiotic stewardship, improved infection control practices, public awareness campaigns and good hygiene as personal hygiene is crucial in preventing Urinary tract infections, it prevents bacteria from entering the urinary tract, reduces bacterial growth, and minimizes irritation. Implementing preventive strategies and evidence-based guidelines can improve patient outcomes and combat antibiotic resistance. Effective management of UTIs requires a multi-faceted approach. By addressing these challenges, we can promote better health outcomes for the people of Jalalabad.
