Abstract
Objective: Urinary tract infections are one of the most common causes of morbidity around the world. Fosfomycin is a specific broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat these infections. However, in recent years, many studies have reported increased fosfomycin resistance in Enterobacterales isolates. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the distribution of pathogens isolated from urine samples and find the fosfomycin resistance rates over nine years (2012-2020).
Materials and methods: A total of 18,884 uropathogenic Enterobacterales isolates were included in the study between 2012 and 2020. The isolates were identified by VITEK® 2 Compact (bioMérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France), and the antimicrobial susceptibilities of the isolates were also evaluated using the VITEK® MS automated system (bioMérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France).
Results: Escherichia coli (64.04%) was the most common bacteria among Enterobacterales. Fosfomycin resistance rates were 1.98%, 21.64%, and 10.36% in E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and all bacteria, respectively. The 34.97% of isolates were extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales, and the fosfomycin resistance rate was 13.08% in these isolates. In addition, fosfomycin resistance rates were found as 3.06% and 23.84% in ESBL-producing E. coli and ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae, respectively.
Conclusion: Fosfomycin seems a good option for effectively treating UTIs caused by E. coli. On the other hand, we found that fosfomycin resistance tends to increase over the years. Therefore, we recommend further studies to evaluate fosfomycin resistance.
期刊介绍:
This series reports on new developments in all areas of mathematics and their applications - quickly, informally and at a high level. Mathematical texts analysing new developments in modelling and numerical simulation are welcome. The type of material considered for publication includes:
1. Research monographs
2. Lectures on a new field or presentations of a new angle in a classical field
3. Summer schools and intensive courses on topics of current research.
Texts which are out of print but still in demand may also be considered if they fall within these categories.
The timeliness of a manuscript is sometimes more important than its form, which may be preliminary or tentative.
