This study aimed to determine the frequency, bacterial profile, and antibiotic susceptibility of urinary tract infections among pregnant women attending antenatal care at the SALAMA Hospital Center. A total of 58 pregnant women were included, constituting an exhaustive sample. The prevalence of urinary tract infections was 29.31%. Escherichia coli was the most frequently isolated pathogen (35.29%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae (17.65% each). E. coli showed high susceptibility to levofloxacin (83.33%) and piperacillin (66.67%). Staphylococcus aureus was fully susceptible to piperacillin (100%), while Klebsiella strains showed 100% susceptibility to levofloxacin.

The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of hyperuricemia among the personnel of the industrial slaughterhouse in the province of Ituri and identify the socio-demographic profile most affected by high levels of uric acid among the personnel of the industrial slaughterhouse in Ituri Province. We conducted a cross-sectional study using a convenience sampling method on blood samples from 50 staff members of the industrial slaughterhouse in the town of Bunia, Ituri province. After analysis, our study results show that 40.0% of the participants have a uric acid level exceeding 7.7mg/dl. Among these participants, 87.5% are aged 62 or older, 42.9% are male, 33.3% are university educated, 35.7% have worked for 0-20 years, and 11-19 years, respectively, and 34.8% come from the Bankoko neighborhood. In summary, a high prevalence of hyperuricemia had been observed among the employees of the industrial slaughterhouse located in Ituri Province, Bunia, reaching up to 40%. Considering these results, we recommend limiting the consumption of red meat, adopting a low-protein diet, and closely monitoring cardiovascular risk factors.
