- Abstract
A significant public health issue, urinary tract infections (UTIs) is more common in women (59%) than in men. E. coli is the most commonly isolated pathogen (52%), with K. pneumoniae and Staphylococcus following closely behind. According to our research, Gram-positive bacteria are resistant to trimethoprim, penicillin, nitrofurantoin, and doxycycline, but Gram-negative pathogens are very resistant to ampicillin, cefepime, norfloxacin, and trimethoprim. Amikacin, nitrofurantoin, and ciprofloxacin are susceptible to Gram-negative bacteria, whereas amikacin and piperacillin-tazobactam are more susceptible to Gram-positive organisms. Antibiotic resistance is largely caused by risk factors like smoking, drinking alcohol, and eating non-vegetarian food frequently. In order to properly treat medication resistance, empirical therapy is advised.
