Keywords: Escherichia coli, uropathogenic, antimicrobial susceptibility, urinary tract infection, multi-drug resistance.
Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been identified as the most common uropathogenic bacterial pathogen with increasing resistance to antibiotics. Aetiology of urinary tract infections (UTI) and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns vary from time to time and across different areas. In Nigeria, studies on the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of clinical isolates from urinary tract infections are inadequate. Employing standardised microbiological methods, this study assessed the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of E. coli isolates from UTI in University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (a tertiary health care institution) in North Eastern, Nigeria. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) accounted for 150 (62.50%) of 240 urine isolates. Lowest susceptibility was for Ampicillin 54 (36.0%), Ciprofloxacin 69 (46.0%) and Norfloxacin 72 (48.0%). More than 50% were susceptible to Levofloxacin and Streptomycin 71 (54.0%) each, Cefuroxime and Co-trimoxazole 78 (52.0%) each, while highest susceptibility was for Nitrofurantoin 117 (78.0%), Chloramphenicol 105 (70.0%) and Gentamicin 96 (64.0%). The isolates were commonly resistant to 9 (24.24%) of the ten (MARI of 0.9) classes of antimicrobial agents used in this study and all the isolates were multidrug-resistant. There is a need for proper surveillance and development of hospital specific antibiograms to inform appropriate empiric therapy of urinary tract infections.
