Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows high resistance in common pathogens for UTI, indicating urgent need for revised empirical treatment protocols.

Key Points

  • Resistance to commonly prescribed antibiotics is alarmingly high, posing a challenge in UTI treatment.
  • Escherichia coli was the most frequently isolated organism at 86%, followed by Klebsiella spp. and Enterococcus spp.
  • The disc diffusion method was utilized for antibiotic susceptibility testing according to CLSI guidelines.
  • The findings highlight the necessity for updated local antibiograms to guide empirical treatment in UTIs.
