Introductionurinary tract infection (UTI) comes second after respiratory infections in most communities and hospital settings, affecting people of all ages. Frequent use of antibiotics to manage UTI has resulted in development of resistance, calling upon policymakers to fast-track and enforce policies that guide the use of antibiotics in the country. This study intended to determine the current antibiotic resistance to uropathogens among patients attending Kericho County Referral Hospital.Methodsthree hundred urine samples from eligible participants were cultured and bacteria colonies identified using biochemical tests. Antibiotic sensitivity was done using Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method on Mueller Hinton Agar.Results:the aetiological agents of UTI were Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococci faecalis, E. coli, Proteus spp and Klebsiella pneumonia. Antibiotic resistance was observed among these uropathogens to commonly used antibiotics namely; ampicillin (84.3%), azithromycin (71.9%) and augmentin (69.8%). However, there were some bacteria that were susceptible to all or some commonly used antibiotics. There was moderate resistance to norfloxacin (43%) except in Staphylococcus aureus which showed 64% resistance. The isolates showed less resistance to cefoxitine (13.2%), gentamycin (11.6%) and ciprofloxacin (10%). While most bacteria showed multiple resistance to 3 drugs, some showed resistance to at most 5 drugs tested in the study.Conclusion:this study found Staphylococcus aureus to be the predominant aetiological agent of UTI. Cefoxitine, gentamycin and ciprofloxacin are good therapeutic choices for confirmed recurrent UTI when culture results are unavailable. There is need to have regular screening of aetiological agents of UTI and their resistance to antimicrobials.
