Abstract
An analysis of case histories of 119 patients who underwent treatment in the urology department of the Voronezh City Clinical Emergency Hospital No. 10 was performed. All patients were drained with a urethral catheter, a bacteriological examination of the urine was performed, and empirical antibiotic therapy was prescribed. Microflora growth was detected in the urine of 30 (25.2%) patients, most often revealed Klebsiella spp. and Enterococcus faecalis. A high frequency of resistance of uropathogens to antibacterial drugs prescribed as empirical therapy was noted. 66% were resistant to ceftriaxone, and 70% of the isolated microorganism strains to ciprofloxacin. Significantly lower resistance was noted for amikacin and doxycycline. To increase the effectiveness of empirical antibiotic therapy in patients with catheter-associated urinary tract infections, it is necessary to select antibacterial drugs based on the results of monitoring the sensitivity of hospital strains, followed by treatment correction in accordance with the results of urine bacteriological studies.
