A total of 6063 Enterococcus faecalis isolates for adult and pediatric patient populations were analyzed citywide.
Avoiding treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria is important for reducing the development of antibiotic resistance. See the "Guidelines" section for more information.
Adult data include 2 hospital facility and represent only outpatients.
Number of isolates may vary with each antimicrobial.
For uncomplicated UTIs due to Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis, cefazolin results predict results for the oral agents cefaclor, cefdinir, cefpodoxime, cefprozil, cefuroxime, cephalexin, and loracarbef.
Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) performance standards for antimicrobial susceptibility testing were applied.
Percent susceptible for each organism/antimicrobial combination was generated by including the first isolate of that organism encountered on a given patient.
