Increased community-acquired upper urinary tract infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in children and the efficacy of flomoxef and cefmetazole

ConclusionExtended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producingE. coli should be suspected in community-acquired upper urinary tract infections. Therefore, when treating patients, it is necessary to focus on antibiotic susceptibility and the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing bacteria found in each area. Flomoxef and cefmetazole are useful primary treatments for upper urinary tract infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producingE. coli.
