Urinary tract infection is a common bacterial infection in the paediatric population. It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children under 2 years of age. Increasing antibiotic resistance trends have important clinical implications for the empirical use of antibiotics. It is know that antimicrobial resistance vary according to geographic region. Knowledge of antimicrobial resistance patterns locally may aid clinicians in prescribing accurate empirical antibiotics treatment.
This is a retrospective observational study is to examine antimicrobial resistance patterns in paediatric urinary tract infections in a single centre over the period of 12 months (1st April 2013 to 31st March 2014). Antimicrobial resistance patterns of patients with renal tract abnormalities were compared to those patients with normal renal tracts.
All paediatric urine samples from 1st April 2013 to 31st March 2014 were reviewed. These samples were obtained from children who presented to the outpatient or emergency department; or who were admitted as inpatients. Urine samples that were collected by Paedibag (pediatric urine collection bag) and cottonball collection method were excluded. Cultures with mixed growth, and common contaminants were excluded. To prevent duplication, repeat samples within 30 days of first positive urine culture were excluded.
