Comparison of antibiotic resistance pattern between acute and recurrent phases in different phylo-groups. While in groups A and B1 the isolates from recurrent UTI are more resistant (a, b), the pattern in groups B2 and D is reverse (c, d). Interestingly, concerning the urine samples of phylo-groups B2 and D, the pattern in group D remains the same while group B2 mimics the pattern of groups B1 and A (e, f). AP: ampicillin, CFX: cefalexin, TS: trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, NA: nalidixic acid, CFM: cefixime, CRO: ceftriaxone, CIP: ciprofloxacin, CTX: cefotaxime, NOR: norfloxacinn.
