Synopsis:

Urinary tract infections are the most common hospital acquired infections. The aim of this study was to determine responsible micro-organisms, their antibiotic sensitivities and to describe the incidence and risk factors of nosocomial urinary fact infections.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Although urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common hospital-acquired infections, the epidemiology of these UTIs is not well defined in Turkey. The aim of this surveillance study was to determine micro-organisms responsible for UTI, their antibiotic sensitivities and to describe the incidence and risk factors of nosocomial urinary tract infections (NUTI).
