Urinary Tract Infections in Children: Changing Trends in Etiology and Local Resistance Patterns over a Three-Year Period
E.coli remains the predominant pathogen in pediatric urinary tract infections. Resistance to A-C in our sample was high (33.1%). The switch from A-C to cefuroxime as first-line agent resulted in a decreasing trend in A-C resistance, while cefuroxime resistance remained low and even slightly lower.
