Overview

Prospective study reveals high resistance in E. coli and K. pneumoniae among UTI patients, indicating urgent need for surveillance.

Key Points

  • High resistance to third-generation cephalosporins was observed in E. coli, raising concerns about treatment options for UTIs.
  • Out of 305 urine samples, 88 (28.85%) tested positive for E. coli and K. pneumoniae, indicating their prevalence as uropathogens.
  • Susceptibility testing revealed E. coli's 100% sensitivity to fosfomycin, suggesting effective treatment options available.
  • The study highlights the need for routine monitoring of antimicrobial resistance patterns to optimize UTI management.
