Description
Zafeiris Tsinaris leads an eleven-author team reporting drug resistance in bacteria from urine samples of children treated at a large hospital in northern Greece, in 2026 work. The group reviewed lab records from 2015 to September 2025, covering 776 isolates in total. Most were Escherichia coli, with smaller shares of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Escherichia coli stayed sensitive to a few drugs, notably nitrofurantoin and amikacin, yet resisted ampicillin in over half of cases. Klebsiella carried the heaviest burden, with high resistance to a common class of strong antibiotics and frequent signs of broader drug resistance. Pseudomonas kept low resistance to key drugs used against it. The authors say local records like these should guide which drugs doctors pick first for children with urine infections.
