| Abstract | We assessed the susceptibility of Escherichia coli strains causing communityacquired
urinary tract infection (UTI) in a large urban center in Brazil, comparing
two different populations (patients with health insurance vs. uninsured). 581 nonduplicate
strains of E. coli were isolated. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance
was greater than 20% for ampicillin (51%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (43%),
tetracycline (41%) and chloramphenicol (22%). Overall, 12% of the E. coli isolates
were resistant to ciprofloxacin. Resistance prevalences to most antimicrobials were
similar in the two study populations. Our data provide much needed information on
the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among E. coli causing communityacquired
UTI in Brazil. Antimicrobial resistance among strains of E. coli causing
community-acquired UTIs was relatively high, particularly resistance to
ciprofloxacin. | pt_BR |
