An evolution in the aetiology and antimicrobial susceptibilities of urinary tract infection (UTI) organisms is being continually observed among outpatients. 1 Most UTI cases in the hospital and community setting are initially treated empirically based on the frequency of potential pathogens, local antimicrobial resistance rates and illness severity. 1 Due to previous fluoroquinolone usage, under-dosing and mono-therapy against moderately susceptible pathogens, fluoroquinolone resistance has developed among these UTI pathogens
