Indu Sharma,Deepjyoti Paul +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the samples showed that UTI was more common in females of younger age group as compared with males, and it was also observed that the patients responded effectively to imepenem (IE), cepefime, amikacin, norfloxacins, and co-trimoxazole antimicrobial agents against Gram-negative bacilli.

Antibiograms from community-acquired uropathogens in Gulu, northern Uganda - a cross-sectional study
TL;DR: There was high resistance to most antibiotics tested in this study, and Amoxicillin-clavulanate or gentamicin should be considered for replacement of amoxicillin and cotrimoxazole for empirical treatment of UTI in this setting.

Uropathogen distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility in uncomplicated cystitis in Belgium, a high antibiotics prescribing country: 20-year surveillance
TL;DR: Over a 20-year period, the distribution of uropathogens in women with cystitis remained unchanged, and susceptibility remained excellent for nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin, but for TMP-SMX, ampicillin, and quinolones, there was a decrease.

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.
