Abstract

Introduction: the terms infection and sepsis have being alternatively used during many years; the current tendency is referring to the term infection as a germ- dependent bacterial process.
Objective: to characterize the behavior of urologic infections in urological service of the University Hospital “Comandante Faustino Perez Hernandez”.
Materials and methods: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional research has been made to the patients who have attended the urology service of the University Hospital “Comandante Faustino Perez Hernandez”, using the method of active screening in the period from January 2014 until December 2019.
Results: it was proved that the biggest part of the studied population is elder adult people, predominating the male sex.  Diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, immunodeficiency were found among the chronic diseases associated to infections.  The use of catheters was present in more than 64% of patients. Echerichia coli was the germ with highest incidence, followed by Klepsiella, andPseudomonas.
Conclusions:  benign prostatic hyperplasia, lithiasis, urethral stenosis, prostatic and urothelial tumors are the main obstructive causes associated to infections. An important group of patients who underwent surgery presented infections at the surgical site. Bacteria showed higher sensitivity to antibiotics like meropenem, aztreonam and amikacin.
