Abstract

The presente study identified isolated UTI-causing bactéria in urine uroculture tests and
analyzed antibiotic resistance in a clinical analysis laboratory. Data collection occurred
by consulting the data in the SILABOR system of the Peritiba clinical analysis laboratory.
The data used were which microorganisms were isolated, the antimicrobial susceptibility profile, sex and age of patients with positive samples. The results reveal that the sex most
affected by urinary tract infection is female and the age grou pis elderly patients aged 71
to 80 years. Regarding the profile of resistance to antimicrobials, there was greater
resistance in urine cultures positive for ampicillin (93%) followed by amoxicillin/
clavulanic acid (64%), ciprofloxacin (29%), norfloxacin (21%), levofloxacin and
sulfazotrim (14%), and the remainder of antibiotics such as nalidixic acid, amikacin,
cefazolin, gentamicin and nitrofurantoin (7%). These results are fundamental for the
generation of new strategies in the health of the population of the region studied, helping
in the correct treatment of patients, reducing the number of cases with bacterial resistance
and consequently reducing health costs.
