  PREVALENCE AND SENSITIVITY PROFILE OF BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM URINE CULTURE OF PATIENTS FROM A PRIVATE CLINICAL ANALYSIS LABORATORY IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF CONSELHEIRO LAFAIETE-MG

  Urinary tract infection (UTI) is determined by the presence of pathogenic microorganisms that invade urinary tissues, and according to its location it is classified as low and high urinary tract infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and sensitivity profile to antimicrobials of bacteria isolated from women's urine samples from a private Clinical Analysis Laboratory in the municipality of Conselheiro Lafaiete-MG. A cross-sectional observatory study, of a quantitative type, aimed at collecting secondary data on the prevalence and sensitivity profile of bacteria isolated from positive urine cultures in female patients aged 18 to 60 years, in the period from January to December 2019. During the study period, 226 positive urine cultures from women within the stipulated age range were identified in this laboratory. Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli were the most prevalent in the four seasons (66.37%). Gram positive Enterococcus sp. (3.54%) was more frequent in the fall. Amoxicillin/clavulanate, ceftriaxone and nitrofurantoin were the antimicrobials with the lowest rate of resistance on the part of E. coli (90%; 93.33% and 97.33% sensitivity, respectively). And in relation to the prevalent Gram positive bacteria, ampicillin showed the greatest sensitivity. It is essential to instruct patients about the dangers that UTI can cause and reinforce that the correct therapeutic recommendation is very important, as well as the dosage determined by the doctor, in order to make it more difficult for strains to appear due to inappropriate use of these antimicrobials.
