UTI (Uncomplicated)

Resistance Patterns

Increasing E.coli resistance to fluoroquinolones

These agents are not recommended for empiric or first line treatment of uncomplicated UTI

Local uropathogens' susceptibilities should be considered when choosing empiric treatment:

  • Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole should not be used if resistance exceeds 20%
  • Ciprofloxacin should not be used if local resistance exceeds 10%
