In fact, a study of Seattle-area women over age 50 who had not taken any antibiotics for at least a year discovered that the incidence of gut-colonizing ciprofloxacin-resistant\u00a0E. coli\u00a0actually increased. About 1 in 5 women in the study were affected. The results are consistent with theoretical models indicating that, once a drug-resistant form of\u00a0E.coli\u00a0emerges, it will continue to spread by taking up long-term residence in individuals&#8217; gut microbiomes. Antibiotic resistant E. coli in the gut is of concern because the bacteria can enter the urinary tract and cause difficult-to-treat infections, particularly in women. Evidence from studies such as this one may be changing paradigms on how to fight the rise in antibiotic resistance.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2023\/08\/230828223807.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Resistant E. coli rises despite drop in ciprofloxacin use<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ScienceDaily&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a nearly threefold drop in prescriptions for the antibiotic ciprofloxacin between 2015 and 2021, the rates of ciprofloxacin-resistant\u00a0E. coli\u00a0bacteria circulating in the community did not decline.
