Bacterial growth and antimicrobial resistance in urinary <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolates among men with lower UTI in Swedish primary healthcare: retrospective data over a 4 year period
Resistance levels for ciprofloxacin in <i>E. coli</i> among men with LUTI in PHC were lower than in surveillance data. The results of this study point to the importance of surveillance of resistance in urine samples from patients with LUTI in PHC in order to choose the right empirical antibiotic treatment.
