Bacterial and Antibiotic Susceptibility Patterns in Patient with Pediatric Urinary Tract Infection at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital
Abstract: Pediatric urinary
tract infection (UTI) should become attention due to high prevalence, severe
complication, and high cost treatment. Bacterial pattern and its susceptibility
are different in every region.The objective of this study was to discover
pattern of bacteria causing UTI and their susceptibility to antibiotics.
Methods: This study was an observational descriptive study. The data was
obtained from medical records and susceptibility testing results of pediatric
UTI in Department of Child Health at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in
period of 2014. Data taken was presented in table.
Results: There were 26 cultures which had microbiological findings among
79 cultures taken from 106 patients with UTI. The majority of findings were
Escherichia coli (10 cases), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4 cases), and Klebsiella
pneumoniae (4 cases). Antibiotic classes with high susceptibility level were
aminoglycoside, sulfonamide, and fluoroquinolone. Resistance level were higher
in cephalosporin class than others.
Conclusions: Most common bacterial found are Escherichia coli,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiellapneumoniae. The result of susceptibility
testing for cultures shows variance of susceptibility pattern to antibiotics in
pediatric patients with UTI at Department of Child Health Dr. HasanSadikin
General Hospital.
