million people worldwide and is considered one of the most serious
infections. Schistosoma haematobium is pathogenic to humans and
causes blood in the urine and sometimes in the stool. However, haematuria may enhance bacterial growth in bilharzia patients’
urinary tract, but studies on the relationship between bilharzia and
urinary tract infection from different regions are conflicting. We aimed
to study association between urinary tract bacterial infections and
schistosomiasis, and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of isolated
bacteria, in Abu Rukba village in the White Nile State, Sudan.
Microscopy, cultivation, biomedical analysis and antibiotic
susceptibility were utilised to identify S. haematobium and isolated
bacteria. Both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria were isolated
from the samples. The gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus
aureus and Enterococcus faecalis compared the gram-negative bacteria
that were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus species.
The most frequent bacteria in S. haematobium positive and S.
haematobium negative samples were S. aureus, E. faecalis, E. coli, K.
pneumonia, respectively. Prevalence of bilharzia associated bacteriuria
(29%) differed significantly from that of bacteriuria alone (21%) since p
value of ?2 was 0.04. The isolated bacteria were susceptible to most
antibiotics utilised in this study. Number of growing bacteria in the S.
haematobium positive samples was significantly more than number of
growing bacteria in the S. haematobium negative samples. Thus
schistosomiasis might enhance Bilharzia associated bacteriuria due to
biology of schistosomes. | | Keywords : | | | Bilharzia, Urinary Tract Bacterial infections, Significant
