“…The rate of resistance to quinolones was 87.56%. This result is perfectly consistent with those reported by other researchers [41] [42]. The high rate of resistance to quinolones worldwide compromises the use of this class of anti-infectives widely used in daily practice.…”

“…17 E.coli (74.3%) was the leading cause of UTI in this study. Similar kind of results was also observed in other studies [17][18][19] in which E.coli was major cause of UTI. Results of this study revealed 22.8% prevalence of colistin resistance.…”

“…17 According to present study female (55.6%) were more affected with UTI which is comparable to other study done in Pakistan. 19 While other study done in Pakistan results were higher (87.94%) than this study. 17 E.coli (74.3%) was the leading cause of UTI in this study.…”

“…This finding is similar to a study that was conducted in Pakistan to determine the correlation between antibiotic susceptibility and drug prescription in the empirical treatment of uropathogenic E. coli. All isolates were susceptible to imipenem [52]. However, judicious use of this molecule is imperative to prevent the emergence of carbapenemase-producing strains.…”
