AbstractAim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the common bacteria associated with UTI cases and theirantibiotic susceptibility pattern.Methods: A retrospective study was done for one year( January 2021 to December 2021) in Department ofPharmacology, ANMMCH, Gaya, Bihar, India. The study included all in-patients of either gender above 18 yearsof age with a diagnosis of UTI. Data was collected from the patient’s case record files, which were retrieved fromthe medical records department of our hospital.Results: Out of 120 significant isolates, gram-negative organisms accounted for 81%. Fungal isolates were seenonly in 2% of cases. E.coli was the most predominant uropathies isolated followed by Klebsiella spp, Enterococcusfaecalis and Acinetobacter spp. Other uropathies included MRSA bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida spp,Citrobacter Freunde, Pseudomonas spp and Streptococcus spp. E.coli, showed considerable resistance toampicillin, ceftriaxone, Co-Trimoxazole and fluoroquinolones. Low level of resistance was observed withNitrofurantoin, piperacillin+ tazobactam and Ticarcillin. Klebsiella spp, the second most common uropathiesshowed high level of resistance with ampicillin, cephalexin, cefuroxime, ceftriaxone and Nitrofurantoin.Conclusion: Most of the identified bacteria were resistant to several of the popular antibiotics used in clinicalsettings. Consequently, it is vital to prescribe antibiotics rationally both before and after culture reports. Patternneeds to be studied further and the outcome should be communicated to the prescribing physicians in that area.
