In women with uUTI due to E. coli, prior dispensing of FQ or any oral antibiotic within 90 days predicted FQ NS and MDR urine E. coli. Prior urine culture with FQ NS isolates and older age were predictive of FQ NS E. coli. Prior ESBL+ was predictive of MDR E. coli. These data could help identify patients at risk for AMR E. coli and inform empiric prescribing.
