Individual health insurance data of antibiotic delivery in previous months as a tool to predict bacterial resistance of urinary tract infection: A prospective cohort study.

Objectives: We aimed to quantify the individual risk of antimicrobial resistance among patients with community-acquired Escherichia coli urinary tract infection (UTI) according to their antibiotic exposure over the previous 18 months.

Patients And Methods: French patients were prospectively recruited in two centers in 2015-2017. Resistance of isolates to amoxicillin (AMX), amoxicillin-clavulanate (AMC), third-generation cephalosporins (3GC), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), fluoroquinolones (FQ) and fosfomycin (FOS) was analysed according to previous intra-class and inter-class antibiotic exposure documented in health insurance files.

Contribution of Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing and CH Typing Compared to Next-Generation Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections Due to Genetically Identical Escherichia coli Isolates: a Prospective Cohort Study of Cystitis in Women.

Recurrent cystitis is a common disease in women, mainly due to uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). For decades, typing methods now considered obsolete suggested that relapse by the same clone is dominant over reinfection, most UPEC strains being otherwise fully susceptible to antibiotics. We aimed to update these data.
