ABSTRACT
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) are one of the most common diseases in human societies. UTI treatment with antibiotics is usually done before receiving the results of microbiological tests, this treatment can lead to antibiotic resistance also New studies show that microbial species are the causes of urinary tract infections are different because that study of microbial factors causing infection in all geographical areas is necessary. Result: A descriptive study was carried out on 400 patients who referred to Golestan Hospital of Ahvaz during 2015-2016 and were hospitalized or out-patient with urinary tract infections. This study describes the relationships between sex, isolated bacterial agents and antibiotic resistance of UTI we have studied 200 patients were inpatients, 80 of them were women (40%) and 120 of them were men (80%), and 200 people were outpatients that 65 (32.5%) of them were men and 135 others (67.5%) were women which gave tes the most common strain in both group was related to Ecoli bacteria. and according to their antibiogram, the highest susceptibility to antibiotics in both genders in outpatients in the first place was related to gentamicin antibiotic. And the highest antibiotic resistance in both genders in the first place was related to Cefalotin antibiotic According to the antibiograms of the inpatients, the highest susceptibility to antibiotics for both genders first was to Meropenem antibiotic and According to their antibiograms, the most resistance to antibiotic for women was resistance to Cefotaxime, and in men the most resistant was to Cefixim. Conclusion: Due to differences in the resistance and susceptibility of strains to antibiotics, there is a need for proper selection and appropriate therapeutic treatment.
