ÖZ Purpose: Urinary tract infections are a significant public health issue and the most common cause is E. coli. The compiled articles aim to investigate increasing antibiotic resistance and create awareness and provide an effective treatment path.
Method: Studies on E. coli and antibiotic resistance in the last 5 years were scanned in the Tr Index. Among the open access articles published in 2018 and later, written in Turkish, 13 articles discussing E. coli and antibiotic resistance together were examined.
Results: In all studies, the most common cause of urinary tract infections in both genders and all age groups is E. coli” and its frequency was reported as between 50% and 75%. Considering the antibiotic resistances, it was determined that Ampicillin, Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin-Clavulanic acid were the antibiotics with the highest resistance; Meropenem, Imipenem, Amikacin, Fosfomycin, Nitrofurantoin were found to be the antibiotics with the lowest resistance.
Conclusions: It is important to provide effective treatment for urinary tract infections, which are among the most common infections in our country and in the world, and E. coli, which is the most common cause of urinary tract infections. Resistance rates for E. coli may vary by region and may vary from year to year. Due to the development of high resistance to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin and beta-lactam group antibiotics, which are frequently used in current treatments, and the increase in this resistance over time, especially revising empirical treatments with antibiotics with low resistance rates, studying antibiograms for treatment, and informing about conscious antibiotic consumption will increase the success of the treatment. It is expected to increase and prevent the increasing antibiotic resistance.
