Overview

Cross-sectional analysis identifies key demographic trends and antimicrobial resistance in diabetic patients with UTIs.

Key Points

  • Urinary tract infections are a major cause of hospital admissions among diabetic patients, particularly affecting those over 60 years.
  • Among 325 diabetic patients studied, 63.1% had culture-confirmed urinary tract infections, highlighting the significant health burden.
  • Escherichia coli was the most common uropathogen identified, with high resistance rates to common antibiotics like amoxicillin and cotrimoxazole.
  • Strong associations were found between poor glycemic control and the prevalence of urinary tract infections in this patient population.
