A comparative study on the effects of doxycycline, nalidixic acid and meropenem on Escherichia coli in inducing urinary tract infections.

Urinary tract infections are widely recognized as prevalent bacterial infections frequently encountered in both hospital and community settings. The most common gram-negative bacterial pathogen in humans, extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli, causes these diseases. A retrospective cross-sectional study in Karachi, Pakistan examined Escherichia coli's susceptibility to doxycycline, nalidixic acid and meropenem.
