The aim of this study was to determine the bacterial profile and prevalence of antibiotic resistance patterns of uropathogens, as well as to evaluate the problem with extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing isolates, causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children in Al-Amiri Hospital, Kuwait, over a 5-year period. ⋯ E. coli remains the most common uropathogen. A high percentage of uropathogens causing UTI in children were highly resistant to the first- and second-line antibiotics for the therapy of UTI. ESBL-producing bacteria were highly prevalent in children in our hospital. Local antibiograms should be used to assist with empirical UTI treatment.

The aim of the present study was to analyze the possible changes caused by the maternal ingestion of different types of fatty acids during pregnancy in the proinflammatory state in the odontogenesis of the fetuses. ⋯ Thus, lipid consumption in the maternal diet remains a topic to be explored in embryonic development, despite not causing morphological changes to the tooth germ of rats.
