Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infectious disease that affects any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is currently a public health problem. To understand the antibiotic susceptibility profile of microorganisms isolated in urine samples at the reference microbiology laboratory in Luanda/Angola from 2016-2022 (pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic).  Methodology: A descriptive, quantitative, documentary study was carried out using a survey of secondary data, based on the results of urocultures from patients with a suspected diagnosis of UTI. A total of 2,800 (50.99%) were studied (n=5,491) and confirmed as having a UTI. From 2016 to 2019, 2,060 were confirmed; in 2020, 51 cases were investigated and 24 (0.86%) were confirmed. In 2022, corresponding to the period after the COVID-19 pandemic, a total of 246 patients (8.78%) had a confirmed urinary tract infection. In general, in all periods, the most sensitive drugs were amikacin, fosfomycin, norfloxacin, nalidixic acid, tobramycin, akanamycin and cefotaxime. Females and the E. coli strain followed by proteus vulgaris and mirabilis and the 20-29 and 30-39 age groups were the most prevalent.
