Abstract:
The authors investigated the microbial pathogens responsible for acute urinary tract infection and the antimicrobial susceptibility from 216 patients over 60 years old with benign prostatic hyperplasia from 1/1999 to 6/2000 we have found: Staphylococcus spp (40.6%), E. coli (29%), Pseudomonas spp (19.7%), Enterococcus spp (7.5%), Proteus spp (1.7%), Klebsiella spp (1.1%). Many bacteria were sensitive to imipenem. Often used antimicrobials were gentamycine, kanamycine, ciprofloxacine. Most bacteria were resistant to usual antimicrobial drugs. Most of the patients were from 70 to 80 years old (51.2%). The patients over 80 were at high risk of infection (90%).
