“…According to a Turkish study [27], E. coli isolates were highly resistant to ampicillin (47.8% to 64.6%) and higher resistance rates to ampicillin have been reported in other countries including Senegal (77%), Spain (65%), Taiwan (80%), and India (88%) [28][29][30][31]. In our study, the ampicillin resistance rate was 88%.…”

Background: Antibiotic resistance of urinary tract pathogens has increased worldwide. Knowledge of the antibiotic resistance patterns of uropathogens in specific geographical locations is an important factor for choosing an appropriate empirical antimicrobial treatment. The aim of this study was to provide information regarding local resistance patterns of urinary pathogens to the commonly used antibiotics in Tehran, Iran. Methodology: Urine samples collected and submitted to two pathobiology laboratories in Tehran were identified by conventional methods over a period of three years (December 2006 to May 2009). Antimicrobial resistance testing was performed by the standard disk diffusion technique in accordance with the recommendations of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Results: Of the total 13,333 mid-stream urine samples collected from suspected cases of urinary tract infection, 840 (6.3%) were positive for pathogenic bacteria. Escherichia coli (E. coli) was the most common isolate (68.8%) followed by Proteus spp. (12.4%), and Klebsiella spp. (9.6%). E. coli isolates were mostly susceptible to nitrofurantoin (71.3%), followed by ciprofloxacin (68.1%); however, only 38.2% of E. coli isolates were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Conclusion: Nitrofurantoin may be considered as a first-line empiric antibacterial agent for urinary tract infections in outpatients in Tehran, Iran.

“…The antimicrobial susceptibility data reported on Ͼ1,000 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae for the following countries: South Africa (358,930) (11,12), Tunisia (8,890) (13)(14)(15), Nigeria (3,070) (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23), and Senegal (2,102) (24)(25)(26). In 13 studies, the antimicrobial susceptibility was defined according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines (11,12,16,17,20,22,23,(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32), while in 10 other studies the guidelines of the Comité de l' Antibiogramme de la Société Française de Microbiologie were used (13-15, 24-26, 33-36).…”

dOur objective was to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of Enterobacteriaceae causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adults in Africa. The PubMed database was systematically searched to identify relevant studies published after 2000. Google, World Health Organization, and African Field Epidemiology networks were also searched. Twenty-eight studies, accounting for 381,899 urine isolates from 14 African countries, met the inclusion criteria. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Proteus spp. were the most commonly encountered uropathogens. Cefotaxime, imipenem, fosfomycin, and ciprofloxacin were the antibiotics with the highest activity against E. coli isolates from outpatients, with susceptibility being 92 to 99, 100, 100, and 68 to 91%, respectively. The susceptibility among Klebsiella spp. isolates from outpatients varied from 80 to 100% for amikacin and from 53 to 100% for ciprofloxacin, while susceptibility was 74 to 78, 97, and 77% for ciprofloxacin, amikacin, and fosfomycin, respectively, among Klebsiella species isolates from inpatients or patients with hospital-acquired UTIs. With regard to Proteus spp., the highest activity was observed among fluoroquinolones; 71 to 100% of the P. mirabilis isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin in four studies, and 74 to 100% of the P. vulgaris isolates were susceptible to ofloxacin in two studies. The currently available evidence suggests that the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Enterobacteriaceae uropathogens in African countries were similar to those in countries of southeast Europe. Further original studies are warranted from African countries for which there is limited published data.

“…On the other hand rate of resistance against these antibiotics is comparable in countries like Senegal, Taiwan and India. [12,18] Fig 2 & Fig 3. S. pyogenes isolates were 100% resistance when they were tested against amoxacillin and cotrimoxazole. Isolates also showed 50% resistance towards erythromycin, azithromycin, tetracyclin, ciprofloxacin, rotxithromycin, cloxacillin, cefotaxime, cefuroxime and cefoperazone-sulbactam antibiotics showed good efficacy against gram positive isolates being 100% sensitive.…”
