[Antimicrobial susceptibility of Escherichia coli producers of community urinary tract infections in Galicia (Spain). Period: 2016-2017].

CONCLUSIONS: The empirical treatment in Galicia for uncomplicated cystitis produced by E. coli in women continues to be nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin. In men under 15 years of age, fosfomycin is indicated and in men older than 15 years, treatment in our environment should include culture and administer a 3rd generation oral cephalosporin empirically. Cotrimoxazole and ciprofloxacin are not recommended as empirical treatment because of their high resistance rates. PMID: 31607403 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
