Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Changes in pathogenic bacterial patterns of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children and their resistance pattern to antibiotics are a serious problem. The presence of a pattern of bacterial features and sensitivity to antibiotics has an important role for clinicians as reference and empirical therapy guideline in an area. The purpose of this study was to look at patterns of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotics resistance in children with UTI in Ulin General Hospital Banjarmasin. Material and methods: This was an observational descriptive study using cross sectional approach. Data were obtained from the medical records of children aged 3 months - 17 years who were diagnosed with UTI during the period January 2016 to July 2017.

The highest antibiotic resistance was ampicillin (92.3%), and still have high sensitivity to tigecycline (93.3%).
