Antibacterial Activity and Drug Resistance in Pediatric Population
نویسندگان
چکیده
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are common in children, particularly among infants. Early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of pediatric UTI can significantly reduce late serious complications. Knowledge of the sensitivity and resistance pattern of uropathogens in specific geographical locations is an important factor for choosing the appropriate chemotherapeutic treatment. The present work was carried out in order to determine the prevailing bacteria involved in pediatric UTI in this geographical area in West Bengal, India, their local Antibiotic Susceptibility Patterns (ASP) and also change, if any, in the drug susceptibility pattern among the urinary isolates during the 33 month study period.
