Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The empirical treatment with trimethoprim or ciprofloxacin of urinary tract infections (UTIs) is now questioned, partly due to the global expansion of a few resistant clonal groups of Escherichia coli. METHODS: In this study we investigated the clonal structure of 34 strains of E. coli (collected from non-pregnant women aged 18-65 years with uncomplicated UTIs in Europe and Canada) resistant to either...
