Epidemiological characteristics and antibiotic resistance of pathogens in urinary tract infection in Chengdu 2019-2023, China.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We sought to analyze the characteristics of pathogenic bacteria in urinary tract infections (UTIs) samples and to measure their resistance to antibiotics in different period of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed changes in the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in UTIs samples as well as their antimicrobial resistance during 2019-2023. We compared the distribution of these pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance before (1/2019-1/2020), during (2/2020-3/2022), and after (4/2022-12/2023) the COVID-19 pandemic. The results obtained were interpreted with reference to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI M100, 33rd ed., 2023) and analyzed with WHONET 5.6 software.
