Clinical, Microbiological Profile, and Treatment Outcomes of Carbapenem-Resistant Urinary Tract Infections in a Tertiary Care Hospital.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Carbapenem-resistant urinary tract infections (CR-UTIs) are a major global health threat. Many factors contribute to the increasing incidence of CR-UTI. Owing to the limited availability of treatment options, CR-UTIs are highly challenging to treat.

Materials and methods

This was a single-center, hospital-based, observational, retrospective cohort study. We investigated the treatment results, microbiological profiles, and clinical manifestations of CR-UTI at our institution between January 2017 and December 2021. All patients exhibiting clinical signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI) and a urine culture that showed growth of a single organism greater than 10⁵ colony-forming units/ml were included. All patients were considered for a 1-year f
