    Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infections in childhood. Resistance is a major problem due to common use of wide-spectrum antibiotics. In the present study we aimed to identify the pathogens of UTI in our clinic and define the resistance pattern of these pathogens.We scanned the urinary cultures and antibiograms of the children applied to our outpatient clinic between August 2011 and December 2013. Urinary cultures of 217 children were studied. Of the 217 studied children 176 (81.1%) were girls and 4 (18.9%) were boys. Of the 52 patients under one year 38 (73%) were girls and 14 (27%) were boys. The age of the cases were between 0.01 and 17.80 decimal years (mean: 5.6). The pathogens were E. Coli in 64.1%, Klebsiella spp. İn 16.1%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 6.5%, Enterococcus spp in 4.6%, Enterobacter spp in 3.2%, Proteus spp in 2.8%, Staphylococcus spp. İn 1.9%, Streptococcus spp in 1%. there was a high resistance against ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate and trimethoprin-sulfamethoxazole. The present study proved the importance of culture and antibiogram. Until antibiogram results oral cephalosporins can be used as a first line empirical treatment. If the antibiogram could not be done regional resistance status should be known for the succesful treatment. © 2014, Anatolian Journal of Clinical Investigation. All rights reserved.
