Prevalence, bacterial profile, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and associated risk factors of bacterial UTI among diabetic patients at Jigjiga University Sheik Hasan Yabare Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Jigjiga, Eastern Ethiopia.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDiabetic Mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition characterized with higher blood glucose due to lack of insulin production, or the body cannot effectively use insulin. Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) remains one of the common public health crises in diabetic patients worldwide. Diabetic patients are at a high risk of developing UTIs. In addition, the emergence of rapid drug resistance nowadays poses a great public health threat in management of bacterial UTIs in diabetic patients worldwide.
objectiveTo assess the prevalence, bacterial profile, antimicrobial susceptibility pattern and associated risk factors of bacterial UTI among Diabetic patients at Jigjiga University Sheik Hasan Yabare Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Jigjiga Eastern Ethiopia from February 20, to April 30, 2024.
methodsInstitution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February 20, to April 30, 2024. Total of 220 study participants were recruited. Clean catch mid-stream urine was collected and was inoculated onto MacConkey agar and Blood agar. Bacterial identification was carried out based on standard protocol. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done by Kirby Baurer disc diffusion method. The data were entered into Epi-data version 4.6, exported to and analyzed in SPSS version 25. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to measure the association. P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultThe overall prevalence of significant bacteriuria among Diabetic patients was 10.5% (23/220, 95%CI: 6.4 - 14.6%). Of these, 82.6% (19/23) were gram negative bacteria. E. coli was the most isolated uropathogens constituting 65.2% (15/23) followed by S. epidermis, 8.7% (2/23). Duration of DM, history of hypertension and being symptomatic for UTI at the present were statistically associated with significant bacteriuria. Gram negative uropathogens were highly susceptible to nitrofurantoin (94.7%), amikacin (84.2%) and tobramycin (68.4%). Gram positive isolates were 100% susceptible to nitrofurantoin and gentamicin. The overall proportion of Multi-drug resistance among the bacterial isolates was 60.9% (14/23, 95%CI; 54.5-67.3%).
conclusionAn identification of higher rate Multi-drug resistant uropathogens necessitates proper care of antibiotic selection for prescription and enhancing microbiological testing coverage in the low-income settings.
