Clinical and Epidemiological Analysis of Children’s Urinary Tract Infections in Accordance with Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Pathogens

The study was conducted to analyze urinary tract infections (UTI) in children by considering epidemiology and antibiotic resistance patterns of pathogens in accordance with inflammatory parameters. The research included 525 patients who demonstrated 627 episodes of UTI. The increasing resistance of bacteria was observed over the years covered by the study (p 97.91 mg/L, there was a high percentage of sensitive cases to amoxicillin with clavulanic acid (87.5%). Values of WBC above 14.45 K/µL were associated with E. coli more sensitivity to ampicillin. 100% of children with CRP > 0.42 mg/L and PCT ≤ 6.92 ng/mL had confirmed sensitivity to cefuroxime. Concerning sensitivity to gentamicin, the most optimal cut-off point of WBC was >7.80 K/µL, while in the case of nitrofurantoin, it was CRP value > 0.11 mg/L (which was presented in 98.50% of children). These results may guide us with antibiotic therapy and help to inhibit increasing antibiotic resistance.
