Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance in children is a rising issue, with the study focusing on trimethoprim usage and its relationship to resistance in urinary E. coli isolates.
- Previous prescriptions of trimethoprim were found to significantly increase the likelihood of developing trimethoprim-resistant E. coli, especially if prescribed within the last 84 days.
- The findings emphasize the need for careful consideration of antibiotic treatments in children, suggesting that alternative options should be explored if trimethoprim was used in the past three months.
