| Abstract | Objective. In vitro evaluation of 10 antimicrobial agents: amikacin, cefalexin, ceftibuten, cefuroxime, ciprofloxacin, gemifloxacin, netilmicin, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, trimetoprim-sulfametoxazol, against Gram negative bacteria in outpatients with non-complicated urinary tract infections. Material and methods. Prospective study of antimicrobial sensitivity of 1,200 Gram negative bacteria isolated from the same number of patients of both sexes and all ages, with non complicated urinary tract infections, using the plate microdilution technique to determine MIC 50 and 90, and percents of susceptibility. Results. Most of isolates correspond to Escherichia coli: 638 (53.2%), followed by Klebsiella spp.: 166 (13.9%), Proteus spp.: 110 (9.1%), Morganella morganii: 84 (7.0%), Serratia spp.: 84 (7.0%), Enterobacter spp.: 66 (5.5%), and Citrobacter spp.: 52 (4.38%). The most active antimicrobials in terms of susceptibility and CIM 50 and 90 were ceftibuten and netilmicin. The other studied antibiotics show a very poor activity that varied according the isolated organism. Conclusions. In view of the results of this in vitro study, ceftibuten and netilmicin were the most active antimicrobials against the Gram negative etiological agents of the non-complicated urinary tract infections . |
