Cross-sectional study shows alarming antibiotic resistance in bacterial strains from pediatric UTIs, suggesting urgent action is needed.

Escherichia coli was isolated in 63.7% of pediatric UTI cases, indicating its prevalence as a uropathogen.
Notably, some strains demonstrated a complete 100% resistance to ampicillin and cefixime, raising concern.
This cross-sectional study evaluated data from 113 children under 14 years with UTIs to assess resistance patterns.
Continuous surveillance of antibiotic resistance is crucial to inform effective treatment strategies and optimize care.

Afsharipoor et al. (2025) studied this question.
