Aim: To clarify the etiology of nosocomial UTIs occurring in the urology departments and the outpatient clinic of the Ivanovo Regional Clinical Hospital (IvRCH), to develop recommendations on the empirical use of antibiotic therapy.
Materials And Methods: Bacterial composition of urine in urological patients was monitored from 1999 to 2015. The sensitivity of the pathogens to the main antibacterial agents was determined using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test.
