ABSTRACT
Therapy profile for urinary track Escherichia coli infections in the Dschang
community and its environs where the Dschang District Hospital is located, is of major
importance since it has helped to obtain medications of choice, deduce appropriate
prescriptions and a standard antibiotic profile for Escherichia coli in isolates from urine
cultures obtained from patients.
This study was a prospective and analytical study on patients who consulted in the
Dschang District Hospital presenting with one or more signs and symptoms of urinary
track infections.
Adopting an open ended quantitative approach, we aimed at determining antimicrobial
susceptibility profile for Escherichia coli from isolates of urine culture. One hundred and
thirteen (113) samples were considered in this study. The study precisely consisted of
collection of specimens, identification and isolation of Escherichia coli strains in cultures, and conduction of in-vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing by the Disc
Diffusion. Technique. A total of 113 culture E. coli strains were isolated using the CLED
agar. In the antibiotic susceptibility testing, susceptibility on the 113 E. coli isolates
showed that Fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin 93%, ofloxacine 92% and levofloxacine
89% ) were highly effective and to a lesser extent to the third generation cephalosporin
(Céftriaxone 67% Céfotaxime 65%). High resistance was recorder for amoxicillin(100%),
ampicillin (10%), Amoxicilline +A. clavulanique (15%), tetracyclin (64.6%). Traditional medicine and drug abuse may greatly contribute to drug resistance development in this environment. This study challenges the health body as a whole to implement adequate means of epidemiological surveillance antibiotic sensitivity of bacterial strains isolated in laboratories.
