[Antimicrobial resistance profile of E. coli and Klebsiella spp. from urine in the Infectious Diseases Hospital Iaşi].
The increasing frequency of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing Enterobacteriaceae among nosocomial and community-acquired infections is an important problem for both microbiologists and clinicians, because of the difficulty in correctly detecting, reporting and treating such infections.


RESULTS
In the Clinical Hospital of Infectious Diseases Iaşi the most frequent etiological agents of urinary tract infections were: E. coli - 64%, Klebsiella spp. 11% and Enterococcus spp - 5%. The resistance rate of E. coli and Klebsiella spp. was 41% and 60%, respectively to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, 29.6% and 72.5%, respectively to third generation cephalosporins, 26% and 24%, respectively to ciprofloxacin. The most active antimicrobial agents against cephalosporins resistant strains of E. coli and Klebsiella spp were carbapenems (susceptibility rate 99% and 94%, respectively) and colimycin (susceptibility rate 89% and 83%, respectively).
