Trends in Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Escherichia coli Isolates in a Taiwanese Child Cohort with Urinary Tract Infections between 2004 and 2018.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the annual incidence of Escherichia coli isolates in urinary tract infections (UTIs) and the antimicrobial resistance of the third-generation cephalosporin (3GCs) to E. coli, including the factors associated with the resistance in hospitalized children in Taiwan. A large electronic database of medical records combining hospital admission and microbiological data during 2004-2018 was used to study childhood UTIs in Taiwan. Annual incidence rate ratios (IRR) of E. coli in children with UTIs and its resistant rate to the 3GCs and other antibiotics were estimated by linear Poisson regression. Factors associated with E. coli resistance to 3GCs were assessed through multivariable logistic regression analysis. E. coli UTI
