Özet

Aim: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are frequently seen and also empirically treated in the emergency department (ED). It is known that the antimicrobial resistance of uropathogens is increasing worldwide. Because geographical location plays an important role in antimicrobial resistance and can be used as a guide for treatment, regional studies are particularly important. The aim of this study is to analyze the urine cultures performed at our ED.
