Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections affecting individuals of different ages worldwide. Antimicrobial agents are usually the first-line treatment for UTIs, and the use of the prescribed antibiotic is escalating, resulting in increased rates of bacterial resistance and UTI recurrence. The current study aimed to identify the causative bacteria in Jordan, to explore their resistance pattern to antibiotics and to describe drug-related problems (DRPs) associated with UTI management. This prospective, descriptive study was conducted in two major health institutions in two cities in Jordan over a period of six months. The study population included inpatients and outpatients diagnosed with UTIs. Patients' data were collected directly from patients using data collection sheet and from patients' charts. A total of 273 patients were included, of whom 56.4% were women. Urine cultures were obtained from 81% of the patients. Escherichia coli was the most common causative pathogen (50.6%), followed by Klebsiella pneumonia (10.8%). Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli was the most commonly detected organism across all types of UTIs. Ceftriaxone and imipenem/cilastatin were most commonly admi...Continue Reading
