Objectives We quantified the impact of antibiotics prescribed in primary care for urinary tract
infections (UTIs) on intestinal colonization by ciprofloxacin-resistant (CIP-RE) and extended …

Background Antibiotic resistance is increasing among urinary pathogens, resulting in worse
clinical and economic outcomes. We analysed factors associated with antibiotic-resistant …

Background To assess the effect of previous antibiotic use on the risk of a resistant
Escherichia coli urinary tract infection (UTI), we undertook a case–control study with …

This study quantified the association between antibiotic prescribing for urinary tract
infections (UTIs) and the incidence/antimicrobial susceptibility of UTI-related Escherichia coli …

Background The majority of studies that link antibiotic usage and resistance focus on simple
associations between the resistance against a specific antibiotic and the use of that specific …

Background Urinary tract infections are bacterial infections most commonly encountered in
the community. The resistance rate of uropathogens to commonly prescribed antibiotics has …

Objectives: To investigate the correlation between non-hospital antimicrobial consumption
and resistance. Methods: Information on the non-hospital sales of antimicrobials from 14 …

Resistance to oral antibiotics commonly used to treat outpatient urinary tract infections (UTIs)
is increasing, but the implications of empirical treatment of resistant pathogens are not well …

Background Routine urine culture testing is not recommended for uncomplicated urinary
tract infections (UTIs). As a result, the antibiotic resistance patterns or the organisms causing …

Informing emergency medicine providers of the local resistance patterns for uropathogens
may optimize empiric treatment of urinary tract infection. Recent emergency department …
