Uro-pathogens: Multidrug resistance and associated factors of community-acquired UTI among HIV patients attending antiretroviral therapy in Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northeast Ethiopia

Overview
Urinary tract infections are common bacterial and fungal infections in humans, occurring both in the community and in immunocompromised patients in healthcare settings. Urinary tract infections have a significant health impact on HIV-infected patients. Nowadays, drug-resistant pathogens are widespread poses a serious clinical risk, and causes urinary tract infection. The common agents of bacteria and fungi that cause urinary tract infection are Escherichia coli followed by Klebsiella pneumonia, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Enterococcus faecalis, group B streptococcus, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida. albicans. This study aimed to investigate uro-pathogen, multidrug resistance pattern of bacteria, and associated factors of community-acquired urinary tract infection among HIV-positive patients attending antiretroviral therapy in Dessie comprehensive specialized hospital, Northeast Ethiopia from February 1, 2021, to March 30, 2021.
An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected by using structured questionnaires from HIV patients suspected of community-acquired urinary tract infections. About 10 ml of clean-catch midstream urine was collected and inoculated into Blood agar, MacConkey, and Cysteine lactose electrolyte deficient media. Yeasts were identified by using Gram stain, germ tube test, carbohydrate fermentation, assimilation tests, and chromogenic medium. Gram stain and biochemical tests were performed to identify isolates and an antimicrobial susceptibility pattern was performed on disc diffusion techniques. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Both bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed and a P value of < 0.05 with an adjusted odds ratio with their 95% confidence interval (CI) was used as statistically significant associations.
From the total 346 study participants, 92 (26.6%) were culture positive 75 (81.52%) were bacterial and 17 (18.48%) were fungal pathogens. From a total of 75 bacteria isolates 51(68%) were Gram-negative bacteria and the most commonly isolated bacteria were E. coli 16 (21.33%) followed by K. pneumoniae 11(14.67%) and enterococcus species 10(10.87. Of the 17 fungal isolates of fungi, 8(47.1%) were represented by C. tropicalis. Of the isolated bacteria, 61(81.3%) were resistant to three and above classes of antibiotics (drug classes). About 13 (81.3%) of E. coli, 9(81.8%) of K. pneumoniae, 8(80%) of Enterococcus species, 7 (77.8%) of P. aeruginosa, and CoNs 7(87.5%) were the most frequently exhibited three and above classes of antibiotics (multi-drug resistance). Amikacin and gentamicin were effective against Gram-negative Uro-pathogens. Participants aged>44year, female, being daily labor, being farmer, unable to read and write, patients with CD4 count of ≤ 200 cells/mm3 and CD4 count of 201-350 cells/mm3, who had chronic diabetics, patients having a history of hospitalization and who had urgency of urinations were statistically significant association with significant urinary tract infections.
The burden of community-acquired urinary tract infections among HIV patients is alarmingly increased. Therefore, behavior change communications might be considered for promoting the health status of HIV patients. Moreover, CD4 level monitoring and therapeutics selection based on microbiological culture are quite advisable for the management of urinary tract infections of HIV patients.
