摘要：
Informing emergency medicine providers of the local resistance patterns for uropathogens may optimize empiric treatment of urinary tract infection. Recent emergency department-based studies have demonstrated that urinary isolates of Escherichia coli are often resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX).1,2 Low rates of resistance to nitrofurantoin have been reported for common uropathogens.3,4 We evaluated changes in the antibiotic prescribing patterns for patients discharged from the emergency department after distribution of antibiotic resistance data specific to our emergency department patient population. © 2016 by The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America.
