Knowledge of the etiological agents of infections of the urinary tract and of the map of the antimicrobial sensitivity of each geographic zone is a practice recommended for improving the use of antibiotics and for facilitating the choice of empirical treatment. The aim of this study is to provide up-to-date information on the pathogen flora of outpatients urinary infections in our health area and their sensitivity to antimicrobials, based on the urinary cultivations carried out in the Microbiology laboratory of the Solchaga Outpatient Surgery during the last four years.
