Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common and serious health problem affecting millions of people worldwide each year especially females. Treatment of UTI relies on the bacteriological profile and the knowledge of their antibiotic susceptibility pattern. A cross-sectional study was done in Kantipur Hospital, Kathmandu. Tools for data collection were a data collection form. Total 1246 urine sample from patient suspected of UTI was reviewed, out of which 369 (29.61%) of urine sample showed significant growth. UTI was prevalent in females of age group 21-30 being Escherichia coli (62.3%) predominant one. Altogether 199 multi drug resistance strains were isolated. Empirical treatment of UTI should be discouraged.
