| dc.description.abstract | Background. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common infection when bacteria
from skin or rectum enter the urethra and infect the urinary tract. It is caused by
various pathogens, but bacteria are the most common one. Uropathogenic
Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a dominant infectious agent of UTI. Inadequate of
antibiotic use can increase UTI resistance to antibiotic. Results from several studies
found that resistant to Ampicillin is the most common case of antibiotic resistance.
Objectives. To find out the profile of bacteria that cause UTI at RSUP H. Adam
Malik Medan in 2019–2021 and its resistance to antibiotics. Methods. This is a
descriptive study with retrospective approach. Data collected from medical records
of urine culture results that met the inclusion criteria at RSUP H. Adam Malik
Medan in 2019–2021. The sample was gathered by total sampling method. Data
were analyzed using a statistical software. Results. Escherichia coli (39,1%),
Klebsiella pneumoniae (17,8%), and Enterococcus faecalis (11,5%) most widely
found in this study. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are most resistant
to Ampicillin with resistance level at 96,6% and 100%. However, Escherichia coli
is most sensitive to Tigecycline (100%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae is sensitive to
Amikacin (92,6%). Enterococcus faecalis is most resistant to Tetracycline and
Quinupristin/Dalfopristin (100%), but it is sensitive to Tigecycline (100%).
Conclusion. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis
are the most common bacteria that cause UTI. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella
pneumoniae are most resistant to Ampicillin while Enterococcus faecalis is most
resistant to Tetracycline and Quinupristin/Dalfopristin. | en_US |
