Community-Acquired Antibiotic Resistance in Urinary Isolates from Adult Women in Canada
BACKGROUND: There are currently limited data regarding the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant organisms causing community-acquired urinary tract infections among adult women in Canada. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is the recommended first-line empirical antibiotic treatment, unless res...
