BACKGROUND Carbapenems are the primary treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. However, the recurrence rate is high, and patients often require rehospitalization. We present the results of an observational study on patients with recurrent UTIs who were treated in an outpatient setting with maximal therapeutic oral doses of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid. MATERIAL AND METHODS All patients had pyuria and ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae in urine culture. The starting dosage was 2875 g of amoxicillin twice daily and 125 mg of clavulanic acid twice daily. We down-titrated the doses every 7-14 days and continued prophylactic therapy with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid at 250/125 mg for up to 3 months. We defined therapeutic failure as ESBL-positive K. pneumoniae in urine culture during therapy and recurrence as positive urine culture with the same strain within 1 month after the end of treatment. RESULTS We included 9 patients: 7 kidney graft recipients, 1 liver graft recipient, and 1 patient with chronic kidney disease. We observed no therapeutic failures and no recurrences in the study group during the study period. In 1 case, the patient experienced a subsequent UTI caused by ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae 4 months after completing the therapy. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, it is possible to break the resistance of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae strains with high doses of oral amoxicillin with clavulanic acid. Such treatment could be an alternative to carbapenems in select cases.
