Background.
Urinary tract infection is a major health problem especially in developing countries.
Information about bacterial pathogens isolated from urinary tract infection in diabetic patients and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns is limited in Ethiopia.
Therefore, this study aimed at isolating bacterial pathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.
Methods.
A hospital based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at Debre Tabor.
Urine sample was inoculated onto cysteine lysine electrolyte deficient (CLED) medium.
Bacterial pathogens were identified using standard bacteriological methods.
The data were cleaned and entered into SPSS version 20.
P value less than 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
Result.
A total of 384 study participants were included in the study.
Of them, 21 (10.9%) were from diabetics and 9 (4.7%) of them were from nondiabetics.
Large proportion of gram positive bacteria at 18 (58.1%) were isolated compared to gram negatives at 13 (41.9%).
Gram positive isolates were resistant to cotrimoxazole 10 (58.8%).
Conclusion.
The isolation rates of bacterial pathogens were higher in diabetic than nondiabetic patients.
Bacteriuria was significantly associated with sex and type of diabetes.
Multidrug resistance to two or more antibiotics was observed in 56.7% of bacterial isolates.
Rational use of antimicrobial agent should be thought of to prevent the emergence of multidrug resistance.
