Isolated Bacteria in Recurrent Bacterial UTI in Diabetic Patients

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is of the world’s biggest health problems with dramatic incidences increase worldwide. Since this physiological disorder is a type of secondary immunodeficiency; Urinary tract infections (UTI) is a common consequence post diabetes. The present study was conducted to determine the causative bacterial pathogen and investigate the related innate immunodeficiency in diabetic type II patients. A total of 60 patients and 30 controls were involved, urine and blood samples were collected from diabetic subjects and controls, during the period from November 2017 to March 2018. Data obtained from urine samples culture were performed for the detection of the infective etiology of UTI to determine prevalence of UTI among diabetics. So far; the most common isolated bacterial pathogens were Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus miriabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus fecalis and Pseudomonas aeroginosa.
