Bacterial infection of the urinary tract and glucose level in patients presented with urinary tract infection in tertiary care hospital, Bihar

Objectives: This study was to evaluate the bacterial Infection of the Urinary Tract and Glucose Level in patients presented with Urinary Tract Infection in tertiary care hospital. Methods: Sterilized universal (glass) containers were used in collecting early morning midstream urine from patients. Subjects were instructed to void 5mls of Mid-Stream urine. Two hundred early morning, mid-stream urine samples was collected from one hundred patients of urinary tract infection, age between 1 to >60 years with the presence of bacterial species and 2mls of blood was obtained for glucose screening (glycosuria). Testing for Glucose, macroscopic Examinations, and gram stain procedures were performed to all blood samples. Results: Most of the patients 46(23%) were in age group of 51-60 years. 43(21.5%), 39(19.5%) and 35(17.5%) patients were in age group of 21-30 years, 41-50 years and 31-40 years respectively. most predominant isolated bacteria causing urinary tract infection were Escherichia coli 27(32.53%). Other isolated microorganisms were staphylococcus species 18(21.67%), streptococcus species 18(21.67%), 16(19.27%) Klebsiella species and 2(2.41%) proteus spp, pseudomonas spp. Prevalence of UTI was higher in females 49(59.04%) than males 34(40.96%). out of 200 samples, 83(41.5%) samples were infected. Among them, 24(28.92%) had both bacterial infection with glucose
