title: [In vitro activity of chemotherapeutic agents on the most common bacterial agents causing urinary infections].
abstract: The authors made an investigation of the contemporary position as regards the effectiveness of chemotherapeutic agents used for treatment of infections of the urinary pathways caused by the most frequently found infectious agents in out-patients, small Prague hospitals and the University hospital in Prague-Motol. The dominating infectious agent causing urinary infections remains E. coli. A serious feature is the increase of enterococcal infections in hospitals. As to the antibacterial effect, a dominant position is held by furantoin, in enterococcal infections in hospitals. high antibacterial activity of fluoroquinolones is, however, also associated with the responsibility to use them rationally.
