Bacteriological Profile of Urine in Patients with Urinary Calculi

Asha T. Kore, Gurjeet Singh, S. G. Pawar

Abstract :

Study the bacterial association in urine and urinary calculi and their susceptibility pattern and chemical analysis of urinary calculi. Total 221 cases were studied. Culture of urine sample and stone were carried out. Antibiotic sensitivity pattern of both isolates were studied. Chemical analysis of stones was carried out. From 221 urine cultures 122 (55.20%) shows significant growth. Predominant isolate found in urine was E. coli (24.48 %). From 42 stone cultures 12 (28.57%) showed bacterial growth. Predominant isolate found in stone culture is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. From 42 patients in which both urine and stone culture were done 8 (19.04%) showed growth in both cultures. Predominant urine culture isolate E. coli, were sensitive to gentamycin and nitrofurantoin. Predominant stone culture isolate was Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed sensitivity to amikacin and ciprofloxacin. Most of stones showed the presence of calcium in them. Infection stones with weak or non– urease activity occurred in significant number of patients. Non urease producing microorganisms may accumulate calcium crystals intracellularly and form nidi for calculus formation..
