Abstract

The study was conducted in kadur taluk, chikkamangalore district, to study the prevalence of the recurrent urine tract infection in the post-menopausal women. The causative organism, the associative risk factors and, their antimicrobial pattern were studied. A total of 230 women were included in the study conducted over one year. Following a written consent,midstream urine specimens were collected and the culture tests were done by a quantitative method whereas antimicrobial sensitivity was determined by using the Kirby-Bauer method. 32 women were found to have recurrent UTI. UTI was significantly associated with age, prolapse, diabetes, and poor blood sugar control. Escherichea coli (E. coli) was the most commonly isolated organism. Gram negative pathogens were found to be highly sensitive to cefoperazone, piperacillin and tazobactum.
