Pages: 
571–4
Synopsis: 
A review of 595 bacterial isolates from cases of urinary tract infection (UTI) for the years 2005─2007 in St Kitts demonstrated predominance of Escherichia coli followed by Citrobacter spp, Enterobacter spp. The isolates exhibited low resistance (8.7 to 17.8 %) to cotrimoxazole, a commonly used antimicrobial in UTI”.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The purpose of this study is to review bacterial isolates from cases of urinary tract infection (UTI) and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern for the years 2005–2007 in St Kitts. It is hoped that the study will be of use in the treatment of cases of UTI in St Kitts.
