Epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance trends of pathogens causing urinary tract infections in Mwanza, Tanzania: A comparative study during and after the implementation of the National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (2017-2022)
There was a significant increase in bacterial resistance to ciprofloxacin and third-generation cephalosporins, as well as ESBL-PE. These results emphasize the critical need to enhance AMR surveillance, improve infection prevention and control measures, and strengthen antimicrobial stewardship programs.
