Background: We noted a recent increase in cases of urinary tract infection due to community-acquired ESBL-producing Escherichia coli children treated at our institution. Risk factors E. the USA remain unclear.Methods: A single center retrospective case control study UTI CA-ESBL-producing during 5-year period (2012–2016). Control with non-ESBL-producing were matched by age, gender and year infection.Results: total 111 patients E 103 controls included. The proportion ranged from 7% 15% all...

We describe a pediatric cystic fibrosis patient who developed pulmonary exacerbation due to two multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. In addition these MDR organisms, the case was further complicated by β-lactam allergy. Despite phenotype, both isolates were susceptible an antimicrobial combination.

Abstract Background In recent years, there has been an increasing incidence of community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTI) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli. However, the risk factors ESBL-producing bacteria in (CA)-UTI children USA remain unclear. Methods A retrospective case–control study UTI due to CA-ESBL-producing E. coli during a 5-year period (2011–2016) was performed. Control cases non-ESBL-producing were matched age, gender, and year...
