Carbapenems and aminoglycosides are highly effective against UTIs, yet resistance to other antibiotics is alarmingly high.
Escherichia coli was isolated in 86% of cases, while resistance rates were highest for ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin.
The study involved 100 UTI patients, with midstream urine samples cultured to determine resistance patterns.
Current empirical treatment protocols require revision, highlighting the necessity for updated local antibiograms.
