Overview

Retrospective study shows high antimicrobial resistance in UTIs, emphasizing the need for better treatment strategies.

Key Points

  • To determine antimicrobial resistance patterns and associated risk factors in UTIs diagnosed in the emergency department.
  • Retrospective observational study of 1,042 adults with UTIs in a tertiary referral hospital.
  • Analyzed demographic characteristics, clinical findings, urine culture results, and susceptibility profiles.
  • Identified risk factors for ESBL positivity and carbapenem resistance.
  • 74.6% of isolates were gram-negative bacteria, predominantly Escherichia coli (43.1%).
  • High resistance rates: ciprofloxacin 47.6%, ceftriaxone 47.0%, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 41.3%.
  • ESBL and carbapenem resistance found in 16.9% and 17.9% of gram-negative isolates, respectively.
