title: [Nosocomial urinary stent infection at the urology service of the Cocody University Hospital Center].
abstract: One of the most common complication of urinary stent is urinary infection. At the Cocody University, 28 men and 2 females who had a urinary stent were evaluated for urinary infection, bacterial growth, and their sensitivity to antibiotics. In 85.71% of the cases, the bacteriologic analysis was positive for a mean duration of urinary drainage of 32, 62 days (range 03 to 90 days). Bacterial isolates were: 11 cases of Klebsiella spp, 5 cases of Providencia spp; 1 case of Escherichia coli, 1 case of Serratia marcescens. Among these bacteria, 77.78% were resistant to most of the antibiotics. Therefore, stent urinary infection is mostly due to multi resistant bacteria. Treatment needs an adapted antibiotherapy after removal of the causative agent.
