What is the Outcome of Treatment of Urinary Tract Infections Caused by Bacteria Producing Extended Spectrum Betalactamase in a Primary Care Setting?
The prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria found in urine sample cultures has been increasing over the past decades.
The study hypothesis is to assess the clinical and microbiological outcome of pivmecillinam treatment of ESBL producing E. coli and K. Pneumoni, as well as to observe the clinical and microbiological outcome of the same group of bacteria treated with other antiinfectious agents.
Samples are gathered in primary care setting.
Inclusion Criteria:
- All patients were urinary sample taken in a primary care setting shows significant growth of ESBL producing E. coli.
Above age 16.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Sample from patients in hospital care or living in nursing home facilities. Inability to understand and sign information leaflet.
