Frequency Of Uropathogens Showing Resistance To Nitrofurantoin.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by bacteria is the commonest infection accountable for the unforeseen healthcare cost throughout the globe. Nitrofurantoin is being studied as a solution to the perpetually increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance. The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of urinary isolates causing UTI and their susceptibility pattern against Nitrofurantoin.
