Overview

Cross-sectional study analyzes urinary pathogens and their antibiotic resistance in children, suggesting urgent updates to treatments.

Key Points

  • E. coli was identified as the most prevalent urinary pathogen, accounting for 52% of cases, highlighting a significant threat.
  • Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed high sensitivity to Amikacin and Imipenem while many commonly used antibiotics were resistant.
  • This cross-sectional study involved 100 children aged 2 months to 12 years, focusing on urinary tract infections.
  • Regular monitoring is essential to adapt antibiotic treatment strategies and reduce morbidity in pediatric patients.
