Implication

Cross-sectional study examines antibiotic resistance in uropathogens in hospitalized patients with CAUTI, suggesting increased risk linked to prolonged catheterization.

Key Points

To determine the prevalence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and antibiotic resistance patterns of uropathogens.
Cross-sectional study conducted over 1 year with 353 hospitalized patients aged 18-80 years.
Included patients with indwelling urinary catheters presenting with fever and consented for participation.
Data analyzed using standard statistical methods and logistic regression analysis.
44 patients (12 females, 32 males) diagnosed with CAUTI; highest incidence in ages 57-70 years.
Infection rates increased significantly in patients catheterized for more than 7 days (20.39%) compared to up to 7 days (6.47%).
Multi-drug resistance was observed in all isolated pathogens, with E. coli as the predominant organism.
