Prevalence of Uropathogenic Bacterial Isolates from Urinary Tract Infections: A Case Study of University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria
This study involves in and out patients who presented with symptoms of urinary tract infection at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria from 15th June to 15th December 1999. Following standard research protocol 1927 subjects were recruited and their urine sample (mid-stream urine), catheter specimens (from ambulatory patients) and suprapubic urine (from infants) were analysed for infections (bacterial) using standard laboratory procedures. The results showed that 14.58% yielded positive bacterial growth and female adults and children were more affected (153 and 21) than male adults and children (105 and 2). The bacterial species isolated were those of Escherichia coli (E. coli), Alkaligenes species, Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus morganii, Serratia marcescens, Streptococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus Aureus, Staphylococcus Saprophyticus, Enterobacter species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Citrobacter freundii.
