International audience. A 79-year-old French woman living in a nursing home was brought to the hospital emergency room for indwelling urinary catheter re-insertion following accidental removal. Despite no clinical signs suggesting infection, urine was sent to the laboratory for microbiological and cytological analysis. An Escherichia coli bacteriuria (104 CFU/mL) was found, but no leukocyturia. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed an isolate with resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins, aztreonam, ertapenem, nalidixic acid, fluoroquinolones, tetracycline, aminoglycosides, trimethoprim/sulfonamides and temocillin.
