Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of non-carbapenem treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) in young children. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of children under 2 years of age who were diagnosed and treated for UTIs caused by ESBL-producing E. coli from September 2014 to March 2020. Results: Forty-three children under 2 years of age were treated with non-carbapenem antimicrobials for UTIs caused by ESBL-producing E. coli without bloodstream infections. The overall clinical and microbiological success rates for empirical antimicrobial treatment were 90.7% and 97.7%. Three of the patients (7.0%) experienced a relapse of UTI within a month. An in vitro susceptibility test showed that two patients were sensitive and one was resistant to the antimicrobial treatments. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the time to defervescence, clinical success, microbiological success, and relapse rate between the susceptible (n=13) and non-susceptible groups (n=30). Conclusion: In this study, the overall relapse rate of patients treated with non-carbapenem antimicrobials was 7.0%. The patients showed high success rates in the clinical and microbiological responses to the non-carbapenems regardless of the results of the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility test. These results provide evidence that non-carbapenems may be viable alternative treatments for UTIs caused by ESBL-producing E. coli.
