Résumé:
Urinary tract infections (UI) occupy a prominent place in nephrological pathology by their
frequency in both sexes and at all ages. We illustrated this by a retrospective study in both
Chlef and Relizane states in a four-year period (2012-2015), Our study involves collecting
data, analyzing it, and dividing it by year, sex, age, responsible bacteria and most used
antibiotics.
The results of this study show that the urinary infection increases with age and affects
more women (60%) than men where the most dominant bacterial species is E. coli (40-60%).
The treatment of urinary tract infection has not changed much over the years; the choice of
antibiotic is based on microbiological data. It is rare to have to treat before disposing of it.
Currently, aminoglycosides, quinolones and beta-lactam antibiotics remain constantly active
on most germs of the urinary tract infection
Our study is also conducted from an ethnobotanical survey that requires the use of
medicinal plants to treat the urinary tract infection instead of the use of medicinal treatments
because of their adverse effects and the problems of antibiotic resistances of bacteria.
