title: [Evaluation of sensitivity to antibiotics of microorganisms isolated from children with urinary tract infections].
abstract: The incidence of etiological factors of urinary tract infections in children and in vitro susceptibility of these strains to antibiotics were evaluated. 1082 strains isolated from 905 samples of urine of children hospitalized in the period of 01.01-31.12.2001 were tested. Among the isolated microorganisms, the most common group was the Enterobacteriaceae family (57.4%) and also very often Gram-positive cocci were isolated (34.2%). The most frequent causative agents of UTI (Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis) were generally sensitive to all used antibiotics, but E. coli rods were resistant to ampicillin. In addition, 23.4% of E. coli were the ESBL-producing strains.
