Prevalence of infection and antibiotic resistance pattern of isolates of gynecology clinic patients at Shahriar Noor Hospital from January to June 2020 by PCR and culture methods.

Background And Objectives: is one of the most important causes of prevalent genital infections that pose serious risks. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and antibiotic resistance pattern of isolates of patients referred to the gynecology clinic of Shahriar Noor Hospital by PCR and culture methods.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on 500 patients who had suffered from a vaginal infection. The demographic data of patients were studied. For diagnosis of isolates, cultivation in anaerobic conditions, biochemical tests, PCR and antibiotic susceptibility test to metronidazole and clindamycin were performed. Data analysis was performed utilizing SPSS statistical software version 19 and the Chi-square test.

Results: Among the 500 patients, 173 were diagnosed with There was a significant relationship between age group, level of education, and contraceptive method with incidence. Performing antibiotic susceptibility tests showed that the resistance of isolated strains to metronidazole and clindamycin was 86.12% and 17.34%, respectively.

Conclusion: The high prevalence of infections confirms the critical role of the bacterium in the occurrence of bacterial vaginosis. Therefore, it is necessary to check the prevalence of bacterial infections to recommend the correct medical treatment in different societies.
