•The susceptibility patterns of uropathogens isolated from children hospitalised due to a community-acquired urinary tract infection (UTI) over a 5.5-year period in a university hospital of Northern Greece were evaluated.•The majority of evaluated uropathogens were Escherichia coli(170; 76.9%), followed by Proteusspp. (17; 7.7%), Klebsiellaspp. (15; 6.8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(9; 4.1%), Enterococcus faecalis(4; 1.8%), Enterobacterspp. (2; 0.9%), Morganella morganii(2; 0.9%) and Serratia fonticola(2; 0.9%).•According to the findings of this study, ampicillin should not be used for empirical therapy of paediatric community-acquired UTIs in the evaluated clinical setting.•Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and oral second-generation cephalosporins cover ca. 80% of uropathogenic E. coli, whilst nitrofurantoin is an appealing option for UTI chemoprophylaxis.
