Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance is the biggest threat in real time to health the world over. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognised antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as one of the top ten public health threats to humanity. AMR, apart from increasing the morbidity and mortality also adds to the health costs by prolonging hospital stay and by increasing the need for high-cost antimicrobials. Of the many infections caused by the AMR bacterial pathogens urinary tract infections (UTI) are significant. All UTI need to be treated as UTI can results in complication such as pyelonephritis and urosepsis.
