Abstract

                                                                                                                                   ABSTRACT           Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a condition characterized by the presence of bacterias or microbes that grow and multiply in the urinary tract in significant numbers. Anatomically, the types of UTI are divided into lower UTI/ cystitis and upper UTI/pyelonephritis. E. coli is one of the most common bacteria that cause UTIs. The main therapy given in UTI management is antibiotics to kill bacteria that cause UTIs. The purpose of this study was to describe the use of antibiotics in UTI patients including the right drug, the right dose, the right route of administration, and the right duration of therapy.                   The design of this research was quantitative descriptive with retrospective data collection, based on medical records ofuncomplicated UTI inpatients at Bhayangkara Tk.III Drs Titus Ully Hospital in 2018. The sampling technique used was total sampling with a total of 30 patients in which each patient received 2 types of antibiotic therapy.                   The results of the study of 60 antibiotics showed that the most commonly used antibiotic was Ceftriaxone (25%), the rational use for the right drug was 85%, the right dose was 43%, the right route of administration was 100%, and the right duration of therapy was 23%.  Keywords:UrinaryTract Infections, Cystitis, Pyelonephritis, Rational Use of  Antibiotics.
