Profiling Of Bacterial And Fungal Uropathogens Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern Of Bacterial Isolates And Associated Risk Factors Among Pediatric Patients At St Paul Hospital Millennium Medical College.

Background: Urinary tract infection is an infection caused by uropathogens including bacteriarnand fungi .Which are the major cause of mortality and morbidity in pediatric patients. Earlyrndiagnosis and appropriate treatment is very mandatory. Increasing antimicrobial resistancern(AMR) is also becoming a major challenge in the management of pediatric UTI cases.. Thisrnstudy is aimed in profiling of bacterial and fungal uropathogens and antimicrobial susceptibilityrnpattern of bacterial isolates among pediatric UTI patients in SPHMMC. rnMethods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2020-July 2020rnamong 227 UTI symptomatic pediatric patients. Clean –voided midstream urine was collectedrnand analyzed according to standard microbiological procedures. Pathogenic isolates werernidentified by gram stain and different biochemical tests. Anti microbial susceptibility test wasrndone by using Kirby - Bauer disk diffusion test following standard procedures. Data wasrnanalyzed by SPSS version 23. Result was interpreted by using simple and multivariate logisticrnregression at 95% confidence interval. P values
