RESISTANCE TO ANTIBIOTICS OF AEGEON REGION IN URINARY INFECTION IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS

Abstract

Despite several prohibitions, casual and unnecessary prescribing öf antibiotics for urinary tract infections (UTI) as well as other types of infections results in resistance to antibiotics and in new infections caused by resistant strains in our country. Hence, resistance to antibiotics of the geographical area should be investigated, the current antibiotic regimens and the selection of antibiotics for prophylaxis should be re-evaluated. 777e objective of our study was to determine the local resistance rates to antibiotics and to give a direction for the selection of antibiotics in UTI treatment. We evaluated 4124 urinary culture assays retrospectively, sent from Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery inpatient and outpatient clinics of our hospital during the last six months, and investigated the isolated pathogens and the resistance rates to antibiotics. In addition, the data obtained were compared with that offive years ago. There is no significant difference between the results we obtained and of 1996. However, the frequency rate of the most common UTI pathogen, E. coli, decreased from 62% to 41.5%. With respect to the resistance rates to antibiotics of UTI pathogens, the resistance rates of E. coli for carbapenems, aminoglycosides and 3"* generation cephalosporins were 1%, 10% and 10% respectively as before, but the rates for ampicillin increased from 67% to 75% and for TMP-SMXit increased from 49% to 61%. We concluded that the resistance profiles to antibiotics should be reviewed every five years at least, and thus the selection of proper antibiotics would lessen the morbidity as well as the medical expenses.
