%0 Journal Article %T Urinary Tract Infections Related to Urinary Catheters: Evaluation of Proliferating Pathogens and Antibiotic Resistances of Different Patient %J - %D 2019 %X Objective: In this study it was aimed to research whether or not there is a difference in pathogens that cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) for patients using urinary catheters between patients admitted to our hospitals intensive care unit (ICU) and using home care services Material-Method: Urine culture samples of patients with urinary catheters who were admitted to reanimation department of our Hospital between January-June 2018 and used home care services between January 2017-June 2018, were scanned from data processing database and patients with proliferation were included to the study. The difference between groups were evaluated with z-Test using Minitab and significance level (a) was settled as %5. Findings: The pathogen that caused urinary tract infection the most at ICU was candida spp. (%40,92). The pathogens after candida were, E. coli (%23,3) and Enterococcus spp. (%10,02) in that order. The most proliferating pathogen for patients that used home care services was differing from the patients in ICU as E.coli (%56,6). Candida spp. was the second most prevalent factor (%13,3). The patients with candida at ICU was higher than the patients that used home care services with statistical significance(Z=-6,51,p=0,001). On the other hand, E.coli for patients using home care services was higher than the patients in ICU with statistical significance (Z=5,53,p=0,001). ESBL positive E.coli and Klesebiella spp. had antibiotic resistance to beta lactam group antibiotics such as cefuroxime, cefazolin and ampicillin. Most sensitive antibiotics were amikacin and cefepime. Result: The study shows that the pathogens, which develop due to urinary catheter application and causing UTIs, can vary due to patient¡¯s condition, environment, antibiotic use, existing diseases, organ failures and hygiene. Also the antibiotics, which pathogens that cause UTIs are sensitive-resistant to, are similar in the country %K £¿drar yolu enfeksiyonu %K yo£¿un bak£¿m u£¿nitesi %K evde sa£¿l£¿k hizmetleri %K kandida %U http://dergipark.org.tr/yud/issue/46377/582622
