Uropathogen profiles and their antimicrobial resistance patterns in patients: a three-year retrospective study in Sichuan region.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infection requiring empiric antibiotic treatment. Due to the increased antibiotic resistance of uropathogens and their regional variation, monitoring pathogen distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility is important to ensure effective antibiotic therapy. This retrospective study analyzed the 3-year-long uropathogen profiles and their resistance from a single tertiary general hospital (single-center) and 28 hospitals (multi-center) to provide data allowing guidance for appropriate empiric antimicrobial treatment for UTI.

Methods

A total of 26,108 non-repetitive clinical urine isolates from the single-center during 2017-2019 and the multi-center in 2018 were collected, the pathogen and antimicrobial resistance prof
