Trends in Antimicrobial Resistance of Uropathogens Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a prevalent microbial infection in medical practise, leading to significant patient morbidity and increased treatment costs, particularly in developing countries. This retrospective study, conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh, aims to examine the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of uropathogens and evaluate whether these patterns are influenced by demographic factors such as gender, age, or patient status. Methods: Standard microbiological techniques were used to identify uropathogens, and AMR patterns were determined using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Results: Out of 6549 urine samples, 1001 cultures were positive. The infection was more prevalent in females compared to male
