Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) remains one of the most treated infections in primary healthcare over the last two decades. The infection is treated with antibiotics. However, there have been reported cases of increasing antibiotic resistance globally, limiting the available antibiotics for the treatment of the infection. The study aimed to determine the frequency of bacterial urinary tract infections and their antibiotic resistance pattern in Ho Teaching Hospital of Ghana from 2019–2021.
