Pyogenic liver abscesses are uncommon conditions that present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to physicians. If left untreated, these lesions are invariably fatal. Liver abscesses have been recognized since the age of Hippocrates. In 1883, Koch described amebae as a cause of liver abscess. In 1938, Ochsner and Debakey published the largest series of pyogenic and amebic liver abscesses in the literature. Since the late 20th century, percutaneous drainage has become a useful therapeutic option.

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are counted among the most common infections in children. Most commonly, members of Enterobacteriacea, particularly urinary pathogenic strains of E. coli and Enterobacter aerogenes are the primary causative organisms of UTIs in different parts of the world.. In spite of the availability and use of the antimicrobial drugs, UTIs caused by bacteria have been showing increasing trends. Antibiotics are a mainstay in the treatment of bacterial infections, though their use is a primary risk factor for the development of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in pediatric urology as demonstrated by increased urinary pathogen resistance. The extensive and inappropriate use of antimicrobial agents has invariably resulted in the development of antibiotic resistance which, in recent years, has become a major problem worldwide. Increasing antibiotic resistance among urinary pathogens to commonly prescribed drugs has become a global reality today. Complex pediatric patients with histories of hospitalizations, prior antibiotic exposure, and recurrent UTIs are also at high risk for acquiring UTIs due to extended spectrum beta-lactamase [ESBL] producing organisms. Data regarding the impact of in vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing interpretation on UTI treatment outcomes is lacking. The resistance of bacteria causing urinary tract infection (UTI) to commonly prescribed antibiotics is increasing both in developing as well as in developed countries. Resistance has emerged even to more potent antimicrobial agents. Objective: The present study was undertaken to report the commonly use of current antibiotic resistance pattern among common bacterial urinary pathogens isolated. Methodology & Results: A total of 512 urine samples were collected from out patients of age between 1 to 12 years of both sex of children at Serum Analysis Center Pvt. Ltd.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
