Sažetak
ABSTRACT
Urinary tract infections are very frequent and often caused by bacterial agents. Therefore, they are one of the most common reasons for antbacterial agents prescribing. In everyday’s practise the introduction of empiric antibiotic therapy is almost inevitable. The empiric therapy should be based on data regarding susceptibility/resistance of the most common causal bacterial agents against antibacterial drugs on certain area. During 2004, Recommendations for antimicrobial therapy and prophylaxis of urinary tract infections in Croatia were published. Present paper presents the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the most important bacterial agents of urinary tract infections belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae performed in Teaching Public Health Institute of Primorsko-Goranska County. The main goal of this paper was to determine
the resistance rates against selected antimicrobials during the three year period (2004 – 2006) and comparison of these results with previously mentioned Recommendations after their publishing and results from the rest of Croatia. The total number of 15.076 isolates were analysed. The ratio of resistant isolates was lowest against ceftibuten (3%), followed by co-amoxiclav (5%), cephuroxim, gentamycin (6%), ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin (7% and 8% respectively). Cephasoline and nitrofurantoin were not active against 13% of analysed strains while the highest ratios of resistant strains were recorded against co-trimoxasole (26%) and amoxicillin (44%).
