[Sensitivity to antibiotic drugs of isolated bacteria in urinary infections in children].
The need for an early start to antibiotic therapy during infections of the urinary ways in paediatrics, even before knowing the infecting strain and chemosensitivity tests, often makes it difficult to choose the drug to be used. The present study examines all the urine samples reaching the Microbiology Laboratory of Rome University's Paediatrics Clinic between 1986 and 1988, highlighting infecting species and respective chemosensitivity. The samples were also distinguished on the basis of sex and origin (hospitalised patients and out-patients). From the data so examined it was noted that some antibiotics give a broader cover against the species most frequently encountered during urinary way infections.
