A Recent Study on the Antimicrobial Sensitivity of the Organisms that Cause Urinary Tract Infection
TL;DR: The use of TMP/SMX and nitrofurantoin as the first choices of treatment for UTI should be reconsidered and it is recommended that fluoroquinolone should be restricted because of the high antibiotic resistance and the economic aspects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular evolution of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and pathogenic Escherichia coli: from pathogenesis to therapeutics.
TL;DR: Virulence factors widely distributed in pathogenic strains, but absent from non-pathogenic bacteria, are interesting targets for the development of novel antimicrobial chemotherapies and vaccines.

Matthew E. Falagas,Michael Polemis,Vangelis G. Alexiou,Alexandra Marini-Mastrogiannaki,Jeni Kremastinou,Alkiviadis Vatopoulos +5 more
TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of microbiological data of the antimicrobial susceptibility of Escherichia coli urinary isolates from primary care patients in Greece offered help to clinicians in deciding the appropriate empirical treatment forPrimary care patients with urinary tract infection and emphasize the increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance even in the primary care setting in Greece.

The Importance of Gender-Stratified Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance of Unselected Uropathogens: A Dutch Nationwide Extramural Surveillance Study
TL;DR: Given the observed gender differences in uropathogen distribution and (tendency in) E. coli antibiotic susceptibility, empirical male UTI treatment options should be based on surveillance studies including men only, based on current antibiotic susceptibility data.

Diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection
Thomas M. Hooton,Walter E. Stamm +1 more
TL;DR: The optimal treatment duration for acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis has not been established, but 10- to 14-day regimens are recommended, and patients prefer to use antimicrobials that attain high renal tissue levels, such as a fluoroquinolone, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or an aminoglycoside for pyel onephritis.

Increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens causing acute uncomplicated cystitis in women.
TL;DR: While the prevalence of resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin, and cephalothin increased significantly among uropathogens causing acute cystitis, resistance to nitrofurantoin and ciprofloxacin remained infrequent.
