Description
Simren Mahajan and co-authors track antibiotic resistance in children's urinary infections across the United States in this 2024 study. The infections are among the most common in childhood, and the bacterium Escherichia coli causes most of them. The team drew on a national surveillance program covering eighty-nine medical centers.
More than thirty-five hundred bacterial samples from 2014 to 2023 were tested against twenty-four drugs. Most drugs still worked on over eighty percent of samples, but three fell below that line. Resistance rates held steady for most drugs across the decade. One resistance type, called ESBL, climbed from about seven to eleven percent. Babies under two showed the highest resistance levels overall.
