Risk analysis of antimicrobial resistance in outpatient urinary tract infections of young healthy adults

TL;DR: This nationwide study of community-related UTIs shows significant AMR rates for commonly used oral antimicrobials even in young fit adults, and nitrofurantoin proved once more to be an adequate empirical choice regardless of previous exposures, having a less detrimental effect on future AMR.

Investigation of phylogroups and some virulence traits among cervico-vaginal Escherichia coli (CVEC) isolated for female in Hilla City, Iraq

TL;DR: Most of the CVEC belong to highly virulent phylogroup B2 and have the ability to resist multiple antibiotics and the ciprofloxacin, norfloxACin, amikacin and nitrofurantion still the best choice for treatment and CVEC have the able to form biofilm which make the infection ruthless and hard to cure.

Perfil de sensibilidade antimicrobiana de cepas escherichia coli isoladas de infecções urinárias comunitárias (antimicrobial sensitivity profile of escherichia coli strains isolated from comunitary urinary infections)

TL;DR: A presenca de cepas de Escherichia coli, isoladas de infeccoes urinarias comunitarias, produtoras de ESBL em nosso meio ainda nao constitui um problema significativo.

Antibiotic resistance pattern of Escherichia coli causing urinary tract infection with an emphasis on fluoroquinolone resistance

Sangeeth K, +1 more
TL;DR: The resistance rate to other antibiotics and the MIC of Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacins increased as the patient’s age increases and the present study detected the current antibiotic resistance pattern of Escherichia coli with a special reference to fluoroquinolone resistance.

Diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection

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.
