Objective: To observe bacteriological characteristics

antimicrobial susceptibility

clinical characteristics of the diabetic’s urinary tract infection and clinical curative effect cured by the treatment of combining traditional Chinese and western medicine. Method: 88 diabetics with urinary tract infection were randomly divided into two groups and conventional antibiotic therapy was used in both groups. The treatment group (46 cases) additionally used traditional decoction. Observing diabetic’s urinary tract infection bacteriological characteristics

antimicrobial susceptibility

clinical characteristics

clinical symptoms before and after treatment and the index changes detected by laboratory. Result: Bacterial culture results show that

in recent years

bacterial group causing infections caused by the bacterium is still gram-negative bacilli. However

the ratio of gram-positive bacteria is higher than reported before. Susceptibility: gram-negative bacterium have higher sensitivity to imipenem

cefoperazone combining resistant to β lactam antibiotics enzymes. Gram-positive bacterium have higher sensitivity to vancomycin

piperacillin or amoxicillin combining resistant to β lactam antibiotics enzymes. Whereas quinolone antibiotic usually used for urinary tract infection have higher resistance relatively. The main factors causing infection are high blood sugar

high urine sugar and older age. The total effective rate in treatment group is 95.65% and comparison group is 88.09%. Comparison difference between groups has statistically significance (P<0.05). Conclusion: The treatment combining traditional Chinese and western medicine for diabetic patients with urinary tract infection has good effects of prevention and cure.
