Abstract: 
The rising resistance to Enterobacteriaceae to first-line antibiotics in treating cases of Complicated UTI (cUTI) is a serious challenge. With the rapid spread of strains producing Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), few options remain in treating cases of the complicated urinary tract, especially ESBL producing E. coli, leading to urosepsis. In our case, the patient was successfully treated for ESBL, producing E. coli with Supime (cefepime+ sulbactam).
