Üreme Çağındaki Kadınlarda İdrar Yolu Enfeksiyonlarına Neden Olan Stafilokok Suşlarının Prevalansı ve Antimikrobiyal Duyarlılık Paterni: 5 Yıl Retrospektif Çalışma

Abstract

Background/Aim: Infections of the urinary tract are amongst the most prevalent infections in women, females at child-bearing age have a higher predisposition to urinary tract infections. Approximately 13% of health-care-associated urinary tract infections occur due to Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CNS); this species’ resistance rate is alarming. The study aims to describe urinary tract infections of women of reproductive age through 5 years of results, emphasizing Staphylococcus species as an etiological agent and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Material and Methods: In the study, 4562 urine samples sent between November 2017 and November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Routine culture methods were used to isolate bacteria from urine specimens. According to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (version 8.0-12.0) recommendations, an antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed using the disc diffusion technique. Obtained data analysis was achieved by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 20.0), Categorical variables were presented as frequency and percentage however continuous variable was described as mean ± Standard deviation (SD), and binary logistic regression test was done to determine the association with statistical significance of (p
