Pathogens Causing Pediatric Community Acquired Urinary Tract Infections and Their Increasing Antimicrobial Resistance: A Nationwide Study

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in childhood are common and are associated with considerable acute morbidity and long-term complications. The need for updated data to optimize empiric antibiotic therapy is crucial. We aimed to investigate the pathogens causing pediatric community acquired UTIs, thei...

Description
Summary:Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in childhood are common and are associated with considerable acute morbidity and long-term complications. The need for updated data to optimize empiric antibiotic therapy is crucial. We aimed to investigate the pathogens causing pediatric community acquired UTIs, their correlation with demographic characteristics, and trends in their antimicrobial resistance. This nationwide cross-sectional study included all 53,203 children (
