Abstract
27
A retrospective analysis was performed using The Surveillance Network®, USA, to examine
28
the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among urine isolates from female U.S. outpatients in
29
2012, and assessed trends in antibiotic resistance comparing 2003 to 2012. The most common
30
pathogen identified in 2012 (N=285,325) was Escherichia coli (64.9% of isolates). In 2012,
31
E. coli resistance to nitrofurantoin was low (
