Recurrence of Urinary Tract Infections due to and Its Association with Antimicrobial Resistance.

We analyzed the association between antibiotic resistance and recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) by . Susceptibility levels to 14 antimicrobial agents and the presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) were established using MicroScan. Incidences of multidrug resistant (MDR), extensively drug resistant (XDR), and ESBL-producer isolates as well as rUTIs were estimated.

[Antimicrobial Stewardship programs in Peru: A fundamental agreement].

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to public health. Antibiotic stewardship programs (AMSP) promote the proper use of antimicrobials, improve clinical and economic outcomes, and helps containing the AMR.

Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic phase of the AMS programs and early implementation of AMS at three high complexity hospitals that belong to the social security system in Peru.
