This study aimed to identify prevalent uropathogens and their antibiotic resistance patterns in patients with complicated UTIs in Bangladesh.
Retrospective cross-sectional study conducted between January 2023 and June 2024.
Involved patients with culture-confirmed UTI from the Nephrology department.
Antibiotic susceptibility was evaluated using the Kirby-Bauer method for 31 antibiotics.
E. coli was the most prevalent pathogen (49%) followed by K. pneumoniae (25%) and P. aeruginosa (10%).
High resistance rates were observed for E. coli and K. pneumoniae to Quinolones (10-55%) and Cephalosporins (4-55%).
P. aeruginosa showed significant resistance to aminoglycosides (31-63%) and Carbapenems (0-38%).
