Susceptibility of Danish Escherichia coli strains isolated from urinary tract infections and bacteraemia, and distribution of sul genes conferring sulphonamide resistance

Antibiotic resistance of urinary tract pathogens has increased worldwide. Our aim was to provide information regarding resistance patterns of Escherichia coli in urinary tract infections (UTIs) and E. coli bacteraemia in Denmark. The overall resistance ranged from: ampicillin 20–47%, mecillinam 0–7%...

Zusammenfassung:	Antibiotic resistance of urinary tract pathogens has increased worldwide. Our aim was to provide information regarding resistance patterns of Escherichia coli in urinary tract infections (UTIs) and E. coli bacteraemia in Denmark. The overall resistance ranged from: ampicillin 20–47%, mecillinam 0–7%, trimethoprim 10–28%, sulfamethizole 22–47% and nitrofurantoin 0–3%. In strains with sulfamethizole MICs > 2048 mg/L, 97% carried sulI, sulII or both genes, with sulII being the most common. Among the sulI gene-positive strains, 96% were intI 1 gene positive.
