his study was performed to determine the frequency
and drug resistance and biotypes of
Enterococcus
-related
urinary tract infections in a multi-center study in Tehran. In
this observational cross-sectional descriptive study, 39991
consecutive patients suspected to have UTI attending to
hospitals were enrolled and were evaluated for frequency,
drug resistance and biotypes of
Enterococcus
-related urinary
tract infections. In this study it was seen that 2589 subjects
(6.5%) had established UTI among them 87 subjects (3.4%)
had
Enterococcus
-related urinary tract infection. Among
them70 cases were evaluated for biotype and drug resistance
showing all cases were
faecalis
biotype. The Nitrofurantoin
and Gentamicin showing 1.6% and 85.9% were those with
least and most drug resistance, respectively. According to
the results obtained in this study, it may be concluded that
Enterococcus
is responsible for three percent of urinary
tract infections with dominant biotype of
faecalis
. The most
sensitivity and resistance were related to Nitrofurantion and
Gentamicin, respectively.
