Resumo


Urinary tract infections (UTIs) mainly affect women. We described microbial susceptibility of isolates from community urine samples of women aged between 18 and 60, treated at a hospital in Recife, Brazil, from May 2017 to May 2018. Isolates were tested by disk-diffusion. Of the 121 samples, Escherichia coli (40.5%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (19.0%) and Streptococcus agalactiae (17.3%) were isolated. Resistance in Gram-negative bacilli was observed to ampicillin, cephalexin, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and nitrofurantoin (>30%); and ceftriaxone (7.7%). We identified 9.3% ESBL microorganisms and no ampicillin or vancomycin resistant Enterococcus sp. We recommend amoxicillin-clavulanate and ceftriaxone for the treatment of community-acquired UTIs in women.
