Abstract

Purpose:To characterize the pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibilities in more than 24-month-old children with urinary tract infection (UTI) and to study the Escherichia coli antimicrobial susceptibility trend. Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the record of more than 24-month-old children with UTI between January 2003 and December 2008. Positive results for 1 bacterial species with a colony count of ${\geq}10^5CFU/mL$ was considered statistically significant. We analyzed uropathogens and their antibiotic susceptibilities. To investigate E. coli antibiotic susceptibility trend, we compared 2 study periods (group A: 2003-2005 versus group B: 2006-2008) using the chi-square test for trend. Results:In all, 63 bacterial isolates were identified in children with febrile UTI. The most common pathogen was E. coli (77.8%). There was no difference in the resistance patterns of uropathogens during the 2 study periods (P>0.05). Antibiotic susceptibility of the E. coli isolates to aztreonam, cefotetan, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, amikacin, and imipenem was >90% to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazol, 49% and to ampicillin and ampicillin/sulbactam, 20-25%. Over the 2 study period, the E. coli susceptibilities to most antibiotics did not change: the susceptibility to cefuroxime increased from 74.1% to 95.5% (P=0.046) and that to ciprofloxacin increased from 59.3% to 86.4% (P=0.039). Conclusion:Empirical treatment with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin, and ampicillin/sulbactam alone appeared to be insufficient in childhood UTI because of the high resistance of E. coli and other gram-negative uropathogens. Antibiotics for empirical therapy should be selected based on the sensitivity and resistance pattern of uropathogens found in a particular region.

목 적:본 연구의 목적은 2003년부터 2008년까지 24개월 이상 소아 요로 감염 원인균의 분포와 변화를 알아보고 주요 원인균인 Escherichia coli의 항생제 감수성의 시간에 따른 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법:2003년 1월에서 2008년 12월까지 본원에 열성 요로 감염으로 입원하여 치료받은 24개월 이상 환아의 기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 소변 배양 검사에서 단일 세균이 $10^5CFU/mL$ 이상인 경우에 유의하다고 보고 원인 균주와 항생제 감수성을 분석하였다. E. coli의 항생제 감수성의 변화 유무를 확인하기 위해 두 시기(A군: 2003-2005, B군: 2006-2008)로 나누어 chi-square test for trend를 사용하였다. 결 과:환아들로부터 63례의 균주가 분리되었다. 가장 흔한 원인균은 E. coli로 77.8%의 빈도를 보였다. 원인균들의 시기별 분포는 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). E. coli의 항생제 감수성은 aztreonam, cefotetan, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, amikacin, imipenem에 대하여 90% 이상, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole에 대하여 49%, ampicillin과 ampicillin/sulbactam에 대하여 20-25% 이었다. 두 시기 동안 E. coli의 감수성은 대부분 항생제에 대하여 변화가 없었으나, cefuroxime에 대한 감수성은 74.1%에서 95.5%로 증가하였고(P=0.006), ciprofloxacin에 대한 감수성은 59.3%에서 86.4%로 증가하였다(P=0.039). 결 론:E. coli 및 다른 그람 음성균은 trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin, ampicillin/sulbactam에 감수성이 낮아 단독으로 요로 감염의 초기 경험적 항생제로 사용하는 것은 부적절하다고 생각되며, 적절한 경험적 항생제의 선택은 그 지역 사회의 원인균에 대한 지속적인 감시와 항생제 감수성의 결과에 근거를 두어야 하겠다.
