Sensitivity pattern of antimicrobials against uropathogens and extend- edspectrum beta lactamase-producing isolates in clinical specimens from the najran region, KSA

This study analyzed drug prescribing patterns for urinary tract infections (UTIs) among patients aged 12–80 years, male and female and assessed drug use in such cases. Comprised a quantitative, drug prescribing observational study and employed more than 90 confirmed cases of UTIs. The specimens investigated were collected from different hospitals in the Najran Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the Stokes technique was used to observe the sensitivity pattern of the isolates. The analyses showed 90.0% of total iso- lated organisms were Gram-negative bacteria.
