Abstract
Background Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is a major cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs). This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant uropathogenic E. coli among Iranian children with confirmed bacterial UTIs from 2012 to 2022. Methods A systematic review was performed by searching PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, MagIran, Iranian Scientific Information Database, IranMedex, and Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology. The antibiotic-specific pooled prevalence estimates were calculated by applying a random-effects model. Freeman-Tukey Double Arcsine transformation was applied. I-squared statistic, and Cochran's Q test were computed and meta-regression was conducted on latitude of sampling location. Results The literature search retrieved 2159 articles, among which 19 articles were included. The highest antibiotic resistance was related to doxycycline, ticarcillin-clavulanic acid, cefazolin, cefuroxime, and amoxycillin-clavulanic acid, 59%, 57%, 54%, 53%, and 52%, respectively. Meta-regression on the latitude was statistically significant for nitrofurantoin (P=0.05). Conclusion Resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains were observed in the majority of confirmed bacterial UTIs among Iranian children. The most effective antibiotics for uropathogens were colistin, meropenem, and imipenem.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to perform a systematic review of publications between 2010 and 2021 on the antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii from urinary tract infections and to analyze changes over time in hospital urine cultures from 2016 through 2021. The literature was searched, and a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study was performed in the hospital. Out of 21 838 positive urine cultures, 3.86% were due to P. aeruginosa and 0.44% were due to A. baumannii. For P. aeruginosa, lower resistance rates were observed to virtually all tested antibiotics than were obtained in the systematic review, and the present series of hospital samples showed an in vitro resistance rate <10% to ceftazidime, cefepime, meropenem, piperacillin-tazobactam, amikacin, tobramycin, and colistin. For A. baumannii, the resistance rates to almost all antibiotics were higher in the present series than in the systematic review, being lowest to colistin (10%). Both microorganisms show reduced in vitro susceptibility to some antibiotics during the years of the COVID-19 pandemic in comparison to previous years. In our setting, both piperacillin-tazobactam and meropenem can be recommended for the empirical treatment of UTIs by P. aeruginosa, whereas only colistin can be recommended for UTIs by A. baumannii.

Abstract
Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTI) commonly occur in children; if left untreated, they may result in severe consequences such as uro-sepsis and renal damage. This study aimed to determine the bacterial profile, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and associated factors among paediatric patients suspected of urinary tract infections in Arba Minch General Hospital (AMGH). An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 01 October 2020 to 31 January 2021. A convenient sampling technique was used to recruit the participants; data were collected using a pre-tested questionnaire. To quantify the bacteria (as per the Kass count, >105CFU/ml), midstream urine samples were streaked onto bacteriological media. Isolates were identified by following standard procedures. The antibiotic susceptibility test was performed as per the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Out of the 246 children included, 38 (15.4%) were found to be positive for significant bacteriuria. Isolates of Escherichia coli, 9/38 (23.7%), and Staphylococcus aureus, 9/38 (23.7%), were the most predominant. The majority of Gram-negative bacterial (GNB) isolates showed resistance towards amoxicillin-clavulanate (89.5%), ampicillin (84.6%), and ceftazidime (81%). Likewise, 76.9 and 76.5% of Gram-positive bacteria (GPB), respectively, had shown resistance towards co-trimoxazole and tetracycline. Multi-drug and extensively drug resistance were detected respectively in the case of 68.4 and 15.8% of the total isolates; ESBL production was found in 57.1% of GNB, whereas 55.6% of S. aureus were methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The process of un-circumcision was significantly associated with UTI [(adjusted odds ratio= 3.578; 95% confidence interval: 1.263 - 10.13; p=0.016)].

Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Uropathogens Causing Urinary Tract Infections in Children with Congenital Anomalies of Kidney and Urinary Tract. CHILDREN-BASEL 2021; 8:children8070585. [PMID: 34356564 PMCID: PMC8304885 DOI: 10.3390/children8070585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common in children worldwide. Congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) increase the risk of UTI and consequently antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance represents an important public health issue worldwide. We aimed to evaluate the local trend in terms of bacterial uropathogen resistance in the western part of Romania in children with CAKUT and UTI. Methods: 252 children with CAKUT were admitted to our hospital over a five-year period. Of them, 91 developed at least one UTI episode, with a total number of 260 positive urine cultures. We collected data about age at diagnosis of CAKUT, sex, origin environment, type and side of CAKUT, number of UTIs, type of uropathogen, and uropathogens antibiotic resistance. Results: Distribution of uropathogens was Escherichia coli (38.84%), Klebsiella spp. (21.15%), Enterococcus spp. (15.76%), Proteus spp. (8.07%), Pseudomonas spp. (8.07%), Enterobacter spp. (2.3%), other Gram-negative bacteria (2.3%), and other Gram-positive bacteria (3.45%). High antibiotic resistance was detected for ampicillin, amoxicillin, and second-generation cephalosporins. Escherichia coli presented high resistance for cefepime and ceftriaxone. Pseudomonas spp. remained susceptible to amikacin, quinolones, and colistin. Vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid, and piperacillin/tazobactam remained effective in treating Gram-positive UTI. Conclusions: High antibiotic resistance was identified for frequently used antibiotics. Lower antibiotic resistance was observed for some broad-spectrum antibiotics. Understanding uropathogens’ antibiotic resistance is important in creating treatment recommendations, based on international guidelines, local resistance patterns, and patient particularities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to review results of urinalysis with flow cytometry technique at the time of diagnosis of urinary tact infection (UTI), and to determine uropathogenes with their antibiotic resistance patterns in children with first-time UTI. MATERIAL AND METHODS This single-centered, retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2015 to December 2017. The study included 361 children with a first-time UTI diagnosis. Age, gender, results of automated urinalysis, urine culture results were recorded. RESULTS Mean ages of children were 55.8±50.7 months. E. coli was the most common isolated microorganism followed by K. pneumoniae, Proteus, Enterococcus, and P. aeroginosa. Median count of pyuria was 44 leukocyte/mm3 (range:0-2954/mm3). Median count of pyuria in female and male patients were 53 and 22 leukocyte/mm3, respectively (p=0047). A total of 98 patients (27.1%) had no pyuria. Proportion of pyuria in female and male patients were 81.2% and 76%, respectively (p>0.05). Mean age of patients with and without pyuria were 59±52 months and 46±44months, respectively (p<0.05). According to uropathogen, there was pyuria at the ratio of 60% in Pseudomonas, 62.5% in Enterococcus spp, 66.7% in Proteus, 78.3% in Klebsiella, and 82.7% in E. coli. Children with UTI induced by E. coli had resistance ratios of 30.5% and 22.4% to cefixime and ceftiaxone, respectively. Children with UTI by Klebsiella spp had resistance ratios of 47.8% and 39.1% to cefixime and ceftriaxone, respectively. CONCLUSION E. coli was the most common uropathogen in children with first-time UTI. Pyuria may be lacking according to age, gender, and type of uropathogene. Pyuria level was higher in females. In addition, ceftriaxone and cefixime resistance is increasing making ampirical treatment choices limited.

Abstract
We investigated the phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance, and clonality of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) implicated in community-acquired urinary tract infections (CA-UTIs) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Mid-stream urine samples (n = 143) were cultured on selective media. Isolates were identified using the API 20E kit and their susceptibility to 17 antibiotics tested using the disk diffusion method. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) were detected using ROSCO kits. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect uropathogenic E. coli (targeting the papC gene), and β-lactam (blaTEM/blaSHV-like and blaCTX-M) and fluoroquinolone (qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, gyrA, parC, aac(6')-Ib-cr, and qepA) resistance genes. Clonality was ascertained using ERIC-PCR. The prevalence of UTIs of Gram-negative etiology among adults 18-60 years of age in the uMgungundlovu District was 19.6%. Twenty-six E. coli isolates were obtained from 28 positive UTI samples. All E. coli isolates were papC-positive. The highest resistance was to ampicillin (76.9%) and the lowest (7.7%) to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and gentamycin. Four isolates were multidrug-resistant and three were ESBL-positive, all being CTX-M-positive but SHV-negative. The aac(6')-Ib-cr and gyrA were the most detected fluoroquinolone resistance genes (75%). Isolates were clonally distinct, suggesting the spread of genetically diverse UPEC clones within the three communities. This study highlights the spread of genetically diverse antibiotic-resistant CA-UTI aetiologic agents, including multidrug-resistant ones, and suggests a revision of current treatment options for CA-UTIs in rural and urban settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased antimicrobial resistance is a problem in managing urinary tract infections (UTI). With this study we assessed the resistance patterns of urinary isolates in children with UTI between January 2017 and January 2018. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Among 5,443 isolates, a total of 776 UTI episodes in 698 patients were included. Patients' gender, age, voiding dysfunction, UTI history, prophylaxis status, and presence of vesicoureteral reflux were noted. Patients were divided into three age groups: group 1 for ages ≤12 months; group 2 for ages 13-60 months; and group 3 for ages >60 months. The susceptibilities of etiologic agents to different antimicrobials were explored. RESULTS Median age was 54 months (range 1 month-21 years); male to female ratio was 1:5. The most common causative agent was Escherichia coli (83% of the cases), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (7.5%). Resistance to ampicillin (62.6%) and co-trimoxazole (39.8%) were remarkable in all isolates. Overall extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) positivity was 23.5%. The highest resistance rates, higher ESBL positivity (28.6%), and K. pneumoniae frequency (13.5%) were observed in group 1. Ceftriaxone resistance was significantly low (0.5%) in the ESBL (-) group, which constituted the majority of the isolates. Higher resistance rates were observed among the patients on prophylaxis compared to those off prophylaxis (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Ceftriaxone can still be used for empirical treatment; however, initial urine culture results are crucial due to high ESBL positivity. Special consideration must be taken for patients under 1 year of age. Periodical surveillance studies are needed to explore the changing resistance patterns of uropathogens and modify treatment plans.

Relationship between urinalysis findings and responsible pathogens in children with urinary tract infections. J Pediatr Urol 2019; 15:606.e1-606.e6. [PMID: 31735519 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2019.09.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2018] [Accepted: 09/18/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyuria, presence of bacteria, leukocyte esterase, and nitrite positivity in urinalysis should be considered together, and simultaneous urine culture test should be performed in the diagnostic evaluation of urinary tract infection (UTI). The absence of pyuria in urinalysis cannot exclude UTI in patients with suggestive clinical findings. OBJECTIVE It was aimed to assess relationship between urinalysis tests and uropathogen and to evaluate antibiotic resistance in children. METHODS The study included patients (aged 0-18 years) with significant uropathogen growth in urine culture tests. The patients' data regarding age, gender, results of urine microscopy, urine culture, and antibiogram were recorded retrospectively. RESULTS Overall, 705 patients (562 girls, 143 boys) with significant growth in urine culture test were included. Median age was 72 months among girls and 12 months among boys. Most common uropathogens were Escherichia coli (79.6%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (8.2%). E. coli was more commonly among girls (87%) and Klebsiella spp. among boys (53.3%). Pyuria was positive in urinalysis in 75% of patients. Pyuria presence was more common in patients with E.coli or Proteus spp. (80.6% and 71.4%, respectively) than those with Enterococcus spp. and Klebsiella spp. (52.0% and 53.3%, respectively). In culture antibiogram tests, ampicillin resistance was 100% in Klebsiella oxytoca and Enterobacter spp. and 72% in E. coli strains. No ceftriaxone resistance was observed in K. oxytoca, Citrobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. DISCUSSION Most UTIs were seen in older girls. Pyuria might be lacking in UTIs associated to Klebsiella spp. and Enterococcus spp., and absence of pyuria may not exclude UTI in patients with compatible clinical findings. Ceftriaxone is still an option in empirical treatment; unnecessary use of third-generation cephalosporins should be avoided, particularly in infections other than UTI. CONLUSIONS It was found that E. coli more commonly caused leukocyturia, leukocyte esterase positivity, and pyuria; that pyuria might be lacking in UTIs associated to Klebsiella spp. and Enterococcus spp. and that pyuria was more prevalent among girls. It is though that urine culture tests should be performed in children with suspected UTI even in the absence of pyuria because lack of pyuria may lead delay in diagnosis and treatment as well as renal scar formation.

[PMID: 31252156 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2019.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2018] [Revised: 03/04/2019] [Accepted: 06/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to describe antibiotic prescribing patterns and antimicrobial resistance rates in hospitalised children with febrile and afebrile urinary tract infections (UTIs). METHODS Antibiotic prescriptions and antibiograms for neonates, infants and older children with UTI admitted to a general district hospital in Central Greece were evaluated. Data covering a 5-year period were collected retrospectively from the Paediatric Department's Electronic Clinical Archive. Patients were included based on clinical and microbiological criteria. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. RESULTS A total of 230 patients were included in the study. Among 459 prescriptions identified, amikacin (31.2%) was the most common antibiotic prescribed in this population, followed by amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (17.4%) and ampicillin (13.5%). Children received prolonged intravenous (i.v.) treatments for febrile (mean ± S.D., 5.4 ± 1.45 days) and afebrile UTIs (mean ± S.D., 4.4 ± 1.64 days). A total of 236 pathogens were isolated. The main causative organism was Escherichia coli (79.2%) with high reported resistance rates to ampicillin (42.0%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (26.5%) and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (12.2%); lower resistance rates were identified for third-generation cephalosporins (1.7%), nitrofurantoin (2.3%), ciprofloxacin (1.4%) and amikacin (0.9%). Klebsiella spp. isolates were highly resistant to cefaclor (27.3%). CONCLUSION High prescribing rates for amikacin and penicillins (± β-lactamase inhibitors) and prolonged i.v. treatments were observed. Escherichia coli was highly resistant to ampicillin, whilst third-generation cephalosporins exhibited greater in vitro efficacy. Establishment of antimicrobial stewardship programmes and regular monitoring of antimicrobial resistance could help to minimise inappropriate prescribing for UTIs.

Abstract
Background Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is an important bacterium and responsible for many bloodstream infections, including urinary tract infections and even fatal bacteremia. The aim of this research was to investigate whether ExPEC strains isolated from Turkish blood cultures have a relationship between 16S rRNA based phylogenetic clusters and antibiotic resistance profiles, virulence factors or clonal lineages. Methods Phenotypically identified ExPEC blood culture isolates (n = 104) were included in this study. The 16S rRNA partial sequence analysis was performed for genotypic identification of ExPEC isolates. Antibiotic susceptibility and Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase testing of isolates were performed. Phylogenetic classification (A, B1, B2 and D), Multi Locus Sequence Typing analysis and virulence-associated genes were investigated. Results Based on 16S rRNA partial sequence analysis, 97 out of 104 (93.26%) ExPEC isolates were confirmed as E. coli. Ampicillin (74.22%) and cefuroxime axetil (65.97%) resistances had the highest frequencies among the ExPEC isolates. In terms of phylogenetic classification of ExPEC, D (38.14%, 37/97) was the most prevalent group after A (29.89%, 29/97), B2 (20.61%, 20/97), and B1 (11.34%, 11/97). The sequence types of the 20 ExPEC isolates belonging to the B2 phylogenetic group were analyzed by Multi Locus Sequence Typing. Ten isolates out of 20 (50.0%) were identified as ST131. The other STs were ST95 (n = 1), ST14 (n = 1), ST10 (n = 1), ST69 (n = 1), ST1722 (n = 2), ST141 (n = 1), ST88 (n = 1), ST80 (n = 1), and ST998 (n = 1). Of the ST131 strains, six (60%, 6/10) represented serogroup O25. The most common virulence factor genes were serum resistance factor gene, traT (55.7%) aerobactin siderophore receptor and yersiniabactin encoding genes iutA (45.3%) and fyuA (50.5%), respectively. In addition, PAI (41.2%), iroN (23.7%), hlyA (15.4%), kpsII (13.4%), ompT (13.4%), papG (12.4%), iss (9.3%), cnf1 (7.2%), ibeA (2.06%), and sfaS (2.06%) genes were present in the ExPEC isolates. Conclusion The 16S rRNA-based phylogenetic relationship tree analysis showed that a large cluster was present among 97 ExPEC isolates along with related reference strains. There were 21 main clusters with 32 closely related subclusters. Based on our findings, different clonal lineages of ExPEC can display different antibiotic susceptibilities and virulence properties. We also concluded that virulence factors were not distributed depending on phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2, and D). The ExPEC isolates belonging to the same phylogenetic group and sequence type could display different resistance and virulence characteristics.

Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the prevalence and resistance rates of bacterial agents causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Aseer, Saudi Arabia (2013–2016). Patients and Methods: This was a 4-year (2013–2016) retrospective study undertaken in Aseer Central Hospital, Saudi Arabia. A total of 49,779 urine and other UT specimens obtained from patients suspected of having a UTI were analyzed. Urine specimens were inoculated onto cystine lactose electrolyte deficient agar following standard procedures. Cultures showing significant bacteriuria were subjected to identification and sensitivity testing using VITEK 2 system. Data of patients and uropathogens were assembled, checked, and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Culture positive samples were 49,779 (59.9% males, 40.1% females; P = 0.000). Year trend showed significant variations (P = 0.000) and the forecast trend line hypothesized a clear rise. Age groups 70–79 years were the most vulnerable group (22.3%). Gram-negative bacilli were 91.8% and the major species were Escherichia coli - 39.7%, Klebsiella pneumoniae - 15.8%; Pseudomonas aeruginosa - 13.8%, Proteus mirabilis - 10.6%, and Acinetobacter baumannii - 5%. Antimicrobials with high sensitivity rate were linezolid (99.1%), daptomycin (89.3%), vancomycin (86.7%), teicoplanin (85.5%), ertapenem (85.1%), fosfomycin (82.1%), and tigecycline (80.2%). High resistant rates to uropathogens were encountered with cephalothin (89.8%), nalidixic acid (86.7%), and ampicillin (81.9%). Conclusions: The majority of uropathogens were resistant to antibiotics commonly used in clinical practice. Linezolid, daptomycin, and vancomycin showed the lowest resistance to all uropathogens; this can be revised for empirical treatment of UTIs. Continuous surveillance of uropathogens and their susceptibility is important.

Abstract
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections in pediatrics. Delay in diagnosis and treatment can cause significant morbidity. The physicians knowledge regarding the symptoms, microorganisms that caused UTI, and effective antibiotics in a geographical area can help them to select the appropriate antibiotics. This study was performed to determine the prevalence of bacteria that cause UTI and their susceptibility to common antibiotics as well as the common symptoms and associated factors in children of Shiraz, Southern Iran.This cross sectional study was performed among 202 children with UTI, aged 2 months to 18 years old, between August and November 2014 in pediatric medical centers of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Urine samples were collected using urinary catheter or suprapubic in children < 2 years and mid-stream in children over 2 years, respectively. The type of micro-organisms causing UTI was determined and evaluation of antibiotic susceptibility for each organism was assayed by the Kirby Bauer method using antibiogram test. Patient's information was collected through checking the medical documents and interview with parents.Our results showed that the frequency of UTI was significantly higher in girls (70.3%) than in boys. The most commonly discovered pathogens were Escherichia coli (E coli) (51.5%), followed by Klebsiella spp. (16.8%), and Enterococcus spp. (9.9%). Overall susceptibility test showed the highest resistance to ampicillin (81.2%) and cotrimoxazole (79.2%), and the highest sensitivity to imipenem (90.1%) and Gentamicin (65.3%). Gram negative and positive bacteria showed the highest antibiotic resistance to amoxicillin (83.8%) and clindamycin (100%), respectively. In addition, production of extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) was 69.2% and 30.8% in E coli and Kelebsiella respectively.The efficacy of third generation of the cephalosporins was reduced because of the high rate of production of ESBL and drug resistance. These results inform the physician as to which antibiotics are appropriate to prescribe for the patient, as well as urine culture reports and following the patient's clinical response so that high antimicrobial resistance is not developed at the community level.
