Escherichia coli is the most commonly isolated species in both community and healthcare-associated infections. Our study's purpose was to determine the rates of antibiotic resistance of E. coli isolates in hospital and community populations, track the kinetics of resistance rates of E. coli isolates to major antibiotics, particularly those prescribed for urinary tract infections and study the occurrence and evolution of multi-resistant phenotypes.
