Occurence of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Causing UTIs Among Children Under School Age in Soran City, North of Iraq
Authors: Hasan Akan, Rawezh Hakeem Mustafa
Abstract: The aim of this study to research the event of antibiotic resistant bacteria causing UTIs among children under six years old in Soran, North of Iraq. Totally, 200 urine samples were taken from children suffering from UTIs, in Ashti hospital and Childbirth hospitals between 2017 and 2018 years. It is determined that 70 bacterial uropathogens have been isolated while 130 samples showed negative culture, and the incidence of UTIs was significantly higher in little girls (57.1%) than in little boys. The majority of uropathogenic isolates have resisted ampicillin, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone and cefotaxime. Other antibiotics differently showed moderate susceptibilities. The DNA profile showed that only the isolate K 61 (Klebsiella pneumoniae) was bearing qnrB.
