Synopsis:
This study evaluated the increasing trend in antibiotic resistance pattern
of uropathogens in Kashmir Valley, India. Escherichia coli was
the most prevalent isolate. First generation cephalosporins were ineffective
while aminoglycosides and third generation cephalosporins
were effective antibiotics. Vancomycin was highly effective against E
faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus.
