Abstract
A prospective study conducted in a Thai general practice clinic demonstrated a high prevalence (91.3%) of inappropriate empirical antibiotic use in women with uncomplicated cystitis and 42.6% Escherichia coli fluoroquinolone resistance. An annual update of antimicrobial resistance surveillance data of uropathogens may permit targeted treatment of patients in hospital care.
