Spectrum of Uropathogens of Diabetics along with Antibacterial Activity of Herbal Plants and Profile of Antimicrobial Resistance

U. M. Dagwar, Dr. Mrs. S. N. Zodpe

Abstract :

Uropathogens are mainly the pathogens which cause Urinary Tract Infection.They are also among the most common bacterial infections in humans, both in the community and hospital settings occur in all age groups, in both genders, and usually require urgent treatment.A total of 30 urine samples were studied from various pathology laboratories and out of 30 samples 25 samples shows presences of uropathogens.The most frequent isolate was E. coli while S. aureus was less frequent. Gentamycin, Ciprofloxacin and Erythromycin were most susceptible drugs against uropathogens in patients with diabetics.Antibiotic susceptibility don�t differ significantly between Diabetic and Non–diabetic patients.Our study concluded that extract of C. cassia especially the acetone and ethanol extracts exhibited significant activity against UTI pathogens.The main objective of the study would be to determine the risk factors, causative organisms and antimicrobial susceptibility of UTI in diabetics and non–diabetics seeking treatment. However, with the advent of modern medicine, the use of select antibacterial agents and antibiotics for the treatment of UTIs was put into practice.
