Escherichia coli was found to be the most prevalent pathogen, accounting for 55.7% of isolated cases, indicating significant clinical implications.
Resistance rates among Enterobacteriaceae were alarming, with 80.5% for cefixime and 79.5% for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, underscoring the resistance crisis.
A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 158 hospitalized patients with CAUTIs, offering critical insights into the infection landscape.
The findings support the need for regional monitoring and tailored antimicrobial stewardship to combat the growing resistance among pathogens.
