abstract = {The objective of this study was to identify the bacteria most frequently responsible for urinary tract infection (UTI) in
 the population of under-2-year-olds in our geographic area and to evaluate the activity of antibiotics widely used for UTI treatment
 during a 4-year study period. Materials and Methods. A retrospective analysis was conducted of data on the identification and
 susceptibility of microorganisms isolated in urine samples from children under 2 years of age.  A total of 1,045 uropathogens
 were isolated. Escherichia coli accounted for the majority (60.3%) of these, followed by Enterococcus faecalis (22.4%) and Klebsiella
 spp. (6.5%). The highest E. coli susceptibility rates (>90%) were to piperacillin-tazobactam, cefuroxime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime,
 imipenem, gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, and fosfomycin, and the lowest were to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cotrimoxazole.
 Among all bacteria isolated, we highlight the overall high activity of piperacillin-tazobactam, imipenem, nitrofurantoin, and
 fosfomycin against both community and hospital isolates and the reduced activity of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cephalosporins,
 gentamicin, and cotrimoxazole. There was no significant change in the total activity of any of the studied antibiotics over the 4-year
 study period. Empiric treatment with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cotrimoxazole, cephalosporins, and gentamicin may
 be inadequate due to their limited activity against uropathogens in our setting},
