Clinical laboratory records and case files of 1,038 cases of urinary tract infections (UTI) were examined for the spectrum of bacterial and candida isolates for age and sex distribution of the UTI cases and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of isolates. The results show that 867 (83.5%) of the cases were aged 21 years and above, of which 81.3% in that age group were females. While only 20.7% of the cases were males, 74.0% of those in that category were also 21 years and older. Eleven organisms were isolated, with E. coli, Klebsiella spp and Staphylococcus aureus respectively representing 36.1%, 22.8% and 15.4% of the total bacterial isolates. The prevalence of S. aureus isolates in cases of UTI in this centre suggests the increasing role of these microorganisms in the aetiology of urinary tract infections in Nigeria.
检查了1038例尿路感染（UTI）患者的临床实验室记录和病例档案，以了解细菌和念珠菌分离株的种类、UTI病例的年龄和性别分布以及分离株的抗生素敏感性模式。结果显示，867例（83.5%）病例年龄在21岁及以上，该年龄组中81.3%为女性。虽然只有20.7%的病例为男性，但该类别中74.0%的男性年龄也在21岁及以上。分离出11种微生物，其中大肠杆菌、克雷伯菌属和金黄色葡萄球菌分别占细菌分离株总数的36.1%、22.8%和15.4%。该中心UTI病例中金黄色葡萄球菌分离株的流行表明这些微生物在尼日利亚尿路感染病因学中的作用日益增加。
