Microbiological profile and antibiotic susceptibility profile of urine cultures in patients with spinal cord injury—retrospective study

In UTIs and UTCs, <i>E. coli</i> was the most common microorganism; microorganisms were distinct on different types of voiding methods. Antibiotic susceptibility profiles were determined for the more frequent bacteria. Very low resistance to nitrofurantoin of <i>E. coli</i> and <i>E. faecalis</i>, low resistance to cephalosporins, and high resistance to fluoroquinolones were found. The data now reported can, in selected cases, facilitate empiric antibiotic selection.
