Implication

Observational study analyzed antibiotic resistance in urinary isolates of E. coli and K. pneumoniae, revealing effective options. Findings suggest emerging challenges in treating infections.

Key Points

Carbapenem-resistant strains of E. coli and K. pneumoniae were identified in urinary isolates, posing significant treatment challenges.
Out of 7,228 urine samples processed, 5.38% of E. coli and 3.11% of K. pneumoniae were found to be carbapenem-resistant.
Sensitivity to fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin was observed among carbapenem-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates.
This study provides critical insights into the prevalence and treatment options for urinary tract infections in a tertiary care setting.
