Antibiotic resistance in urological patients with inflammatory diseases of the upper urinary tract

Introduction. Pyelonephritis is an infectious and inflammatory disease in which the renal cup system and the renal parenchyma are affected. Objective: To establish the etiological structure of the upper urinary tract infection (UUTI), sensitivity and resistance of pathogens to antibiotics of patients in Orel and the Orel region. Materials and methods. The case reports of 37 patients with pyelonephritis (PN) who received treatment in the specialized department of the Orel State Clinical Hospital in 2017 were analyzed. The laboratory research material was the average portion of the morning freely released urine. The result of bacteriological research was assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The etiological structure of the acute and chronic pyelonephritis, the sensitivity and resistance of isolated pathogens to antibiotics were studied. Results. We revealed some differences in the etiology of the acute PN and exacerbations of the chronic PN. E. Coli, K. Pneumonia and K...
