Etiologies of community-onset urinary tract infections requiring hospitalization and antimicrobial susceptibilities of causative microorganisms.
CONCLUSION: Third-generation cephalosporins effectively treated CoUTIs. However, patients with nasogastric tube retention more commonly experienced cephalosporin resistance. Cefepime, imipenem, and amikacin may be used in patients with higher antimicrobial resistance. In selected patients, cefazolin may still be an adequate drug of choice for CoUTIs.
