Temporal Shifts in Etiological Agents and Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Biliary Tract Infections in Sichuan Province, China (2017–2023)
The most frequently isolated bacteria from patients with BTIs were Enterobacteriaceae, including <i>E. coli</i> and <i>K. pneumoniae</i>, followed by <i>E. faecium</i> and <i>E. faecalis</i>. Isolates exhibited high resistance to routinely used antibiotics (cephalosporins) and were highly sensitive to tigecycline, carbapenem, amikacin, and vancomycin. The results guide the rational use and continual revision of antibiotic regimens for BTIs to reduce antibiotic resistance.
