Antimicrobial Resistance in Outpatient Escherichia coli Urinary Isolates in Dakar, Senegal

Abstract

These data suggest that trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole may no longer be used as empirical treatment for community-acquired UTI in Dakar. In order to preserve the activity of fluoroquinolones for future years, alternatives such as fosfomycin or nitrofurantoin should be considered.
