Antibiotic Resistance Changes in Gram-Positive Bacteria from Urine Cultures: Development Analysis in a Health Area of South-East Spain.

ABSTRACT: This study analyzed the epidemiology and antibiotic susceptibility profile of significant bacteriuria and assessed the impact of adopting EUCAST criteria on antibiotic resistances. A systematic review was performed on publications in English or Spanish between 1 January 2010 and 30 June 2021 on the susceptibility of Gram-positive bacteria isolated in urinary samples in Europe.
