Why is it important?
High resistance to ampicillin, cefuroxime and SXT; low resistance to nitrofurantoin, TZP, imipenem, meropenem, amikacin and CSL. • Resistance rates were generally higher in inpatients compared with outpatients. • Most appropriate empirical antibiotics for outpatient UTIs in our region are oral nitrofurantoin and parenteral amikacin.
Perspectives
We think that the most appropriate antibiotic to be chosen for the outpatients for empirical treatment in all age groups in our region, is as oral nitrofurantoin and parenteral amikacin. Also the appropriate parenteral antibiotics that should be selected for the empirical treatment of inpatients UTI in all age groups are the CSL, amikacin and carbapenems.
