ChişinăuThe aim of this retrospective study has consisted in analysing the resistance to antibiotics of the germs from the Enterobacteriaceae family involved in urinary infections. The ethiological spectrum of urinary tract infections was dominated by Escherichia coli species (62,69%), followed, with lower percenteges, by Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp. and Enterobacter spp. All the 42 isolated Enterobacteriaceae strains have presented different levels of resistance to antibiotics. The sensitivity to imipenem and meropenem was higher in all the analyzed strains. Scopul acestui studiu retrospectiv a constat în analiza rezistenţei la antibiotice a germenilor din familia Enterobacteriaceae implicaţi în infecţii urinare. Spectrul etiologic al infecţiilor tractului urinar a fost dominat de Escherichia coli (62,69%), urmat, cu un procent mai mic, de Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp. şi Enterobacter spp. Toate tulpinile izolate de enterobacterii au prezentat niveluri diferit de rezistenţă la antibiotice. O sensibilitate marcată a fost înregistrată faţă de imipenem şi meropenem la toate tulpinile analizate
