Abstract: Most urinary tract includes (UTIs) in children are monomicrobic, often caused by Escherichia coli. Evidence on risk factors for UTI in children is limited. UTIs were associated with constipation, encopresis, bladder instability, and infrequent voiding in some studies but not in a cohort of febrile children younger than two years. In this study we evaluated antibiogram pattern E. coli isolated from urinary tract infection in Iranian girl children’s. The search was laboratory and performed in DEY laboratory in 2010 year in Isfahan, a total 702 urinary children samples, cultured and study with microbiological methods.Antibiotic susceptibility was performed with antibiotic susceptibility standard disc diffusion agar. According to result of antibiogram test, respectively 40(90.90%), 32(66.66%),16 (38.095%), 34(70.069%),10 (22.72%),18 (37.5%),19 (42.22%), 8(16.32%) and 26 (61.90%) of Escherichia coli strains Isolated was resistant to Nitrofurantoion, Ceftizoxime,Cephalothin,Ciprofloxacin,Tetracycline,Co-Trimoxazole,Nalidixic Acid, Amoxycillin and Gentamicin. Oral antibiotics are as effective as parenteral therapy in randomized trials.The optimal duration of antibiotic therapy has not been established,but one-day therapies have been shown to be inferior to longer treatment courses. Undiagnosed or untreated UTIs can lead to kidney damage,especially in kids younger than six year. Establish systems for monitoring antimicrobial resistance in hospitals and the community and link these findings to resistance and disease surveillance data is fundamental to developing treatment guidelines accurately and to assessing the effectiveness of interventions appropriately.
