摘要
Objective:Bacteriuria in patients with indwelling urethral catheter in Owerri Municipality of Imo State,Nigeria was studied.Methods: A total of 500 early morning mid stream urine samples from patients admitted in different hospitals within the Municipality.The samples were microbiologically analysed using cultural methods on different isolation media.Results: A total of 220 isolates were identified.Identification tests showed the presence of Escherichia coli(10%),Staphylococcus aureus(9.0%),Klebsiella Sp.(7.0%),Proteus Sp.(5.8%),Streptococcus faecalis(4.0%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(3.8%),Citrobacter Sp.(2.8%) and Enterobacter Sp.(1.6%).Samples obtained from patients aged 71-80 years had the highest incidence of bacteria.A total of 120(48.0%) of the isolates were obtained from female patients.Out of these 12.0% were identified as Escherichia coli.Result,further show that long duration catherized patients of up to 29 days and above have more bacteriuria infection than short term indwelling catheter.Conclusion: These findings have greatly implicated indwelling catheter as a major cause of bacteriuria in catheterized patients.

A total of 120（48.0%） of the isolates were obtained from female patients. Out of these 12.0% were identified as Escherichia coli. Result, further show that long duration cather- ized patients of up to 29 days and above have more bacteriuria infection than short term indwelling catheter. Conclusion： These findings have greatly implicated indwelling catheter as a major cause of bacteriuria in catheterized patients.
