Overview

Retrospective cross-sectional study shows rising antimicrobial resistance in UPEC causing UTIs, highlighting the need for urgent interventions.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate antimicrobial resistance patterns in uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates from urinary tract infection patients.
  • Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 6,390 UPEC isolates from urine samples (January 2022 - December 2024)
  • Bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing using the VITEK-2 Compact system
  • Analysis according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines.
  • High resistance rates against fluoroquinolones (~65.75%, ciprofloxacin) and third-generation cephalosporins (54-58%) were observed.
  • Moderate resistance for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (36.83%), while carbapenem (≤8%) and amikacin (5.44%) showed lower resistance.
  • Yearly assessment revealed a gradual increase in multidrug-resistant UPEC isolates.
