Discussion

Retrospective analysis of antibiotic resistance among gram-positive bacteria in UTIs, highlighting E. faecalis and MRSA prevalence.

Most common gram-positive species was Enterococcus faecalis, with significant antibiotic resistance observed.
Overall susceptibility rates were 71.0%, while resistance to erythromycin reached up to 75.7% among isolates.
Cross-sectional retrospective study utilized data from hospital records between 2019 and 2022 for analysis.
Findings suggest the need for continuous monitoring of antibiotic resistance to improve empirical treatments.

Alkahtani et al. (2025) studied this question.
