“…The low frequency of ESBL-producing enterobacteria (1.1%) and the elevated susceptibility of enterococci to the studied antibiotics would contribute to the higher bacterial susceptibility rates in the children. As observed by various authors, increased resistance rates are associated with greater exposure to antibiotics [4, 22, 23], and the lesser exposure of infants in comparison to adults may also explain the increased susceptibility of UTI isolates in the pediatric population.…”

“…In most countries, resistance to cotrimoxazole and aminoglycosides, especially in Enterococcus spp. but also in Enterobacteriaceae , is now so high that they are no longer suitable for empiric UTI treatment in young children [4, 11, 23]. In their place, cephalosporins have become the empiric drug of choice, but uropathogen resistance to cephalosporins is also increasing [4].…”

“…In a study by Domiınguez et al (21), 5% of E. coli strains isolated from children were resistant to ciprofloxacin. Other studies in recent years have also documented isolates of quinolone-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in children (22,23). Reports from İran and other parts of the world demonstrated a significant correlation between the mutations in the chromosomal gyrA and parC genes and resistance to fluoroquinolones (24,25).…”

“…Empirical antimicrobial administration is not without concerns because this practice may select for multidrug resistant (MDR) organisms, disturb normal flora and encourage colonization or infection . Historical use of antimicrobials has been shown to encourage development of bacterial resistance in human beings with UTIs, not only to the antimicrobial in use, but possibly to more than 1 class of antimicrobials, highlighting the importance of the correct selection of an antimicrobial to treat a patient with a UTI …”

“…6 Historical use of antimicrobials has been shown to encourage development of bacterial resistance in human beings with UTIs, not only to the antimicrobial in use, but possibly to more than 1 class of antimicrobials, highlighting the importance of the correct selection of an antimicrobial to treat a patient with a UTI. [7][8][9][10] Although guidelines for treating UTIs have been published for dogs and human beings, 3,11,12 regional variability exists among isolates as well as susceptibility to various antimicrobials. 10,13 The population of affected individuals can vary, with some hospitals treating more patients with uncomplicated UTIs, whereas others may see primarily patients with complicated UTIs.…”
