| Abstract |
The empirical treatment of urinary infections is complicated by the presence of multiresistance and resistance to extendedspectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). The objective of this study was to describe the patterns of antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli strains isolated from urine cultures and the clinical-epidemiological factors associated with the presence of ESBLs in a pediatric and an adult group. A total of 353 strains were collected from the Emergency and Hospitalization Sector of the Cayetano Heredia Hospital over 14 months, and 45.9% of the isolated strains were multiresistant. The rate of resistance to ESBLs in the pediatric and adult population was 16.3% and 31.1%, respectively, and 63.6% of the resistant strains were isolated from outpatients. The presence of ESBLs was associated with hospitalization in pediatrics, use of diapers, and the presence of neurogenic bladder in adults. These factors should be considered in selection of an antibiotic treatment. Moreover, epidemiological reporting programs and models should be implemented for reduction of risk factors. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 31 May 2022.
All research outputs
#5,449,088
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública
#38
of 458 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#100,196
of 421,709 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública
#3
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 458 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% 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 421,709 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
