Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a frequent disorder and depends on age and gender. Ineffective empiric treatment of UTI is common when associated with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae . The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of Gram-negative uropathogens of E. coli and K. pneumoniae in different age groups along with the identification of ESBL-producing uropathogens and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles.
