Pediatric Febrile Urinary Tract Infection Caused by ESBL Producing Species.

Background: Over the past decade, drug resistance pattern has worsened for many of the uropathogens due to overuse of antibiotics for empiric treatment. The burden of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing associated urinary tract infections (UTI) has become increasingly more common, limiting treatment options among children presenting with febrile UTI. We investigated the burden and correlates of ESBL producing associated UTI among children and antibacterial resistance pattern.
