Abstract
is the most common cause of UTI in the pediatric population and it was found to be most sensitive to nitrofurantoin and amikacin whilst being relatively resistant to cefazolin and ampicillin. Similarities between our study and previous studies around the world were found when comparing the antibiotics resistance patterns. Nevertheless, it is our recommendation that empirical antibiotic selection should be tailored to the local data collected from the region.
