Abstract

In 2012-2013, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in women visiting a general practitioner for urinary tract infection (UTI), to estimate the annual incidence of UTIs due to antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli). A sampling design (stratification, stages and sampling weights) was taken into account in all analyses. Urine analyses were performed for each woman and centralised in one laboratory. Among 538 included women, urine culture confirmed UTI in 75.2 % of cases. E. coli represented 82.8 % of species. Among E. coli, resistance (I + R) was most common to amoxicillin [38 % (95 % confidence interval 31.1-44.5)] and to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole [18.1 % (12.0-24.1)]. Resistance to ciprofloxacin and cefotaxime was lower [1.9 % in both cases, (0.3-3.5)], as it was for nitrofurantoin [0.4 (0-1.0)] and fosfomycin (0). Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) represented 1.6 % of E. coli (0.2-2.9). Annual incidence rate of confirmed UTI was estimated at 2400 per 100,000 women (1800-3000). Incidence rates of UTI due to fluoroquinolone-resistant and ESBL-producing E. coli were estimated at 102 per 100,000 women (75-129) and at 32 (24-41), respectively. ESBL had been found in a community population, and even though the rate was low, it represents a warning and confirms that surveillance should continue.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 June 2016.
All research outputs
#7,171,071
of 22,875,477 outputs
Outputs from Infection
#394
of 1,402 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#114,865
of 338,302 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Infection
#5
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,875,477 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,402 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 338,302 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
