Title : Isolation of staphylococcus aureus urinary tract infections at a community-based healthcare center in Riyadh
Abstract:
Although S. aureus UTI is known to be associated with other risk factors such as urinary catheterization, long hospital stay, or complicated UTI, our results show the community-acquired presentation of UTI. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole may be used as an effective treatment for UTI caused by S. aureus. S. aureus UTI could be an alarming sign of more invasive infections such as S. aureus bacteremia, though clinical evaluation and finding the source of S. aureus are crucial for effective treatment and prevention of further complications
The aim of this presentation is to assess the clinical manifestation, risk factors, and comorbidities of the patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteriuria, and to analyze the antimicrobial susceptibility data of S. aureus isolated from their urine samples. I will discuss the detailed data of 90 isolates of S. aureus were collected from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) including their full identification and susceptibility testing, and urinalysis results.
