Urinary tract infection in adults: research priorities and strategies

Antibiotic Resistance in Uropathogenic E. Coli Strains Isolated from Non-Hospitalized Patients in Pakistan

“…Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infections seen worldwide [8]. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) alone account for 70-90% of the UTI infections [9,10] and their susceptibility patterns against different antibiotics vary in different geographical regions, eventually leading to empirical therapy which is based on the local susceptibility profiles.…”

Antimicrobial Sensitivity Pattern of Bacterial Pathogens Associated with Urinary Tract Infection

“…1,2 Urinary tract infections (UTI) affect any part of the urinary tract and include mainly cystitis (bladder infection), pyelonephritis (kidney infection) and urethritis (urethra infection) showing tissue damage, burning, painful urination, urgency and increased urinary frequency, suprapubic pain, pain in renal angle, fever and other systemic manifestations but asymptomatic cases may also occur. 3,4 Presence of 105 cfu/mL in midstream urine is considered as significant number of bacteria for UTI.…”

Extended spectrum beta-lactamases in urinary isolates of Escherichia coli - prevalence and susceptibility pattern at a tertiary care hospital

“…1 This important pathogen has shown an increasing antimicrobial resistance to most antibiotics particularly Extended-Spectrum-Cephalosporins. 2,3 Resistance to these antibiotics can occur via production of Extended Spectrum β lactamases (ESBLs).…”
