Overview

Prospective study assesses multidrug resistance in uropathogens of diabetic and non-diabetic patients, suggesting urgent need for tailored treatments.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the rates of multidrug resistance (MDR) and multiple antibiotic resistance index (MARI) among uropathogens in diabetic versus non-diabetic patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Prospective study conducted from August 2021 to January 2024 in Gujarat, India.
  • Involved 2,408 patients with UTI symptoms, with 954 testing positive for UTIs.
  • Analyzed antibiotic resistance patterns in diabetic (280) and non-diabetic (674) UTI patients.
  • 61.84% of uropathogens were multidrug resistant (MDR) with higher rates in diabetic patients (92.10% for P. aeruginosa).
  • MARI greater than 0.2 was observed in 87.01% of gram-negative uropathogens in diabetics and 71.03% in non-diabetics.
  • E. coli showed 70.99% MDR in non-diabetics, indicating significant differences in prevalence and resistance patterns.
