Overview

Observational analysis revealed high UTI rates and antibiotic resistance in pediatric patients, indicating a need for localized therapy adjustments.

Key Points

  • Antibiotic resistance among pediatric UTI pathogens is increasing, with 29.7% of isolates producing ESBL.
  • From 938 samples, 38.2% showed substantial growth, predominantly caused by E. coli (29%) and Enterococcus (13.3%).
  • Using the calibrated loop method, pathogens were isolated, followed by antibiotic sensitivity testing with Kirby Bauer disc diffusion.
  • This study highlights the urgent need for localized empirical antibiotic therapy based on local bacterial prevalence and susceptibility.
