Profile of Patient with Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Escherichia coli Bacteria on Urine Specimen at Dr. Moewardi Hospital

Abstract

Background: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is the most common disease worldwide. Escherichia coli is a bacterial pathogen that causes most UTIs while Staphylococcus haemolyticus is an opportunistic bacterium that can cause a UTI which is actually a normal flora on human skin. This study aimed to determine the profile of patients who are exposed to the bacteria S. haemolyticus and E. coli in urine specimens.

Methods: This study was a descriptive research using clinical epidemiology approach. The object of the research was patients medical records which have been identified by urine culture with positive result of S. haemolyticus and E. coli on 2014. Sampling was held during December 2015 at Dr. Moewardi Hospital. Sampling was done and 88 people taken from the population. The data was statically analyzed with frequency distributive technique and odds ratio.

Results: Descriptive analysis using frequency distribution and odds ratio showed male patients are more than the female patients. These two bacteria show of most age category are adults. While the vital sign shows patients with S. haemolyticus body temperature is lower than E. coli. In the blood count result, white blood count of patients with E. coli has a higher mean than the variable numbers of leukocytes on patients with S. haemolyticus.

Conclusions: There are differences between the profile of patients who are exposed to E. coli and S. haemolyticus. On vital signs and the white blood counts results, patients with E. coli was higher than patients with S. haemolyticus.
