The Effect of the Urinary pH in Urinary Tract Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Is Fosfomycin Better than Ciprofloxacin in Treating Uncomplicated UTI in This Population?

The focus of this book is to determine the impact of antimicrobial therapy in the outcome of asymptomatic bacteriuria in a cohort of kidney transplant recipients (KTR). To compare the outcome of lower urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by Escherichia coli in KTR treated with ciprofloxacin and fosfomycin, according to the urinary pH. To analyse the clinical and microbiological outcomes in lower UTI caused by different uropathogens in KTR treated with ciprofloxacin and fosfomycin, according to the urine pH. To study the prevalence, phenotypic characteristics, clinical impact, and outcomes of E. coli strains with LLQR and/or LLFR (low-level quinolone and/or fosfomycin resistant), treated with ciprofloxacin and fosfomycin, according to the urinary pH.
