Isolation rates and antibiotic susceptibilities of different Enterobacteriaceae species as urinary tract infection agents in Turkey: a systematic review

Abstract

IntroductionUrinary tract infections are one of the most commonly seen infections in both in-and outpatient settings (1,2). In Turkey, although studies have been conducted on urinary tract infection agents and their antibiotic susceptibilities, they have generally been regional studies covering limited time periods. There are a limited number of reviews to pool the results of different studies and reveal the isolation rates of different species and their antibiotic susceptibilities in Turkey.The objective of this review is to contribute to the advancement of empirical treatment, particularly in primary healthcare settings, and to reveal the isolation rates of Enterobacteriaceae species, the most common agents of urinary tract infections, and their antibiotic susceptibilities. 2.Materials and methodsThe method used in this review was established by considering the items provided in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols-2015 (PRISMA-P) statement. Based on this guide, information resources were identified and searching strategies were established by a team consisting of three microbiologists, one medical pharmacologist, and one biostatistician who then reviewed the studies and evaluated the data collected according to the specified acceptance/rejection criteria. Information resources to review and searching strategiesFour team members independently searched articles in the Google Scholar, PubMed and ULAKBİM-EKUAL national databases. During the database search, "Escherichia coli,

Prevalence of Urinary Tract Infections and Their Antimicrobial Sensitivity Among Diabetic and Non Diabetic Patients in Zakho

“…Sensitivity to antibiotics for E.coli and K. pneumonia was very high to meropenem, imipenem, ciprofloxacin and nitrofurantoin, E.coli was less sensitive to gentamicin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, while K. pneumonia was resistance to gentamicin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. Many studies in neighbour countries reported similar results to our findings regarding antibiotic susceptibility as in Yürüyen et al, (2017) in Turkey, Angoti et al, (2016) in Iran and in Sewify et al, (2016) in Kuwait.…”

Five-Year Evaluation of the Urine Culture Results and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profiles of Isolated E. coli Strains

“…When we look at the studies related to UTI in our country, E. coli is the most frequently isolated bacterium, both in the community and in inpatients. Yürüyen et al [31] in their systematic review in Turkey, reported E. coli as the most frequently isolated agent, with a rate of 49% in inpatients and 70% in outpatients [31]. The reported E. coli strains were highly resistant to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, and TMP-SMX.…”

“…The reported E. coli strains were highly resistant to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, and TMP-SMX. A study conducted in İzmir in 2016 by Yılmaz et al [31] found that 67% of the pathogens isolated from…”

Nosocomial Urinary Tract Infections, and Their Susceptibility to Antimicrobial Agents in Spinal Cord Injury Patients at a Rehabilitation Setting

“…Resistance to cotrimoxazole for E.coli has reached 50% and efficacy of empirical use of this antibiotic has reduced significantly. Resistance to ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin in patients has also been recorded at approximately 28% and 48%, respectively 24 .…”
