The Resistance of Escherichia Coli in Child Patients in Bingol Region

Abstract

Aim: In this study, it has been aimed to put forward the resistance of the antibiotic in urinary infections caused by E. coli. Material and Method: The samples of the urine culture sent from 1412 patients who referred to Bingol State Hospital with the suspicion of urinary tract infection between 2007-2011 were retrospectively analyzed. Those who have recently used the antibiotic were excluded from the study. Results: Of the urine cultures sent from 1412 patients with the suspicion of urinary tract infection, there was reproduction in 113 (8%). E. coli was proliferated in 78 patients (69%) detected the reproduction in their urine culture. The gender distribution of the patients proliferated E. coli in their urine culture was respectively 13 male (17%) and 65 girls (83%). The age range of the children detected the urinary tract infection acquired from the community was under 7 years 39%. The resistance rates of antibiotic for E. coli were found to be 71% for ampicillin, 53% for amoksilin-clavulanate, 51% for co-trimaksazol, 48% for cephalothin, 37% for cefuroxime, 30% for ciprofloxacin, 25% for cefepime, % 21 for norfloxacin, 21% for gentamicin, 6% for sulbactam-seforazom, 2% for amikacin, and 0% for imipenem and meropenem. Discussion: The resistance rates occurring against the antibiotics are getting more and more important because there has been a longer life expectancy in the age group of the children. For this reason, potential uropathogens and antibiotic sensitivities in children should be considered in the treatment by following closely.
