Overview

Retrospective review shows ESBL and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales in catheterized patients, highlighting infection control needs.

Key Points

  • Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales accounted for 11.3% of urinary tract infections.
  • Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales were present in 1.8% of cases, with significant prevalence in catheterized patients.
  • Retrospective review of 4262 UTI-positive urine cultures conducted in Saudi Arabia from January 2022 to November 2023.
  • Targeted infection control and early catheter removal may mitigate resistance trends in urinary tract infections.
