Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance patterns in patients with urinary tract infections: a three-year retrospective study at a tertiary healthcare center in Lebanon
Key Points
Antimicrobial resistance was identified in over 50% of urinary tract infection cases, complicating treatment options.
In the three-year retrospective study, resistance was common among E. coli and Klebsiella species, affecting many patients.
Patterns of resistance were monitored across a diverse patient population at a tertiary healthcare center.
These findings underscore the need for ongoing surveillance to guide effective treatment strategies and public health policies.
