and are responsible for numerous nosocomial infections. The objective of this study was to determine the development of their susceptibility to ten antibiotics and the antibiotic consumption of patients with suspicion of urinary tract infection (UTI). A retrospective study was conducted on the susceptibility profiles of and isolates from 749 urine samples gathered between January 2013 and December 2016, and on the consumption of imipenem, meropenem and piperacillin-tazobactam between 2014 and 2016.

Background And Objectives: A study of the susceptibility to antimicrobials of the extended spectrum beta-lactamase phenotypes (ESBL) in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. was performed to discover the evolution of this type of resistance from urinary tract infections.
Material And Method: A retrospective study was carried out between 2012 and 2016.
Background And Objective: Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is characterized by long-lasting symptoms, frequently associated with psychosomatic disorders. The objective of the study was to study PCB in our environment clinically and microbiologically.
Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2014 761 patients with suspected CBP were studied.
Candiduria detection in hospitalized or immunocompromised patients is of great clinical significance. The aim of our study was to describe the isolation frequency of significant species of yeasts in urine samples processed in our hospital during the period 2010- 2013, and to analyze their susceptibility to commonly used antifungal agents. Species identification was performed by seeding on a chromogenic medium, the filamentation test and automated systems (ASM Vitek and MALDI Biotyper), while susceptibility was determined using the ASM Vitek system.
