Uropathogen antibiogram regional variations—Are Australian antimicrobial guidelines appropriate?
This study demonstrates that there is considerable variability in the uropathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility profile in two large health services in the same state. We recommend that each centre performs regular analysis of their uropathogen antibiogram to develop local guidelines for treatment and pre-operative prophylaxis for uropathogens.
