Prevalence, Risk Factors and Antimicrobial Resistance of Enterococci caused Urinary Tract Infection among People Living with HIV in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The study concluded a higher prevalence of Enterococci-caused UTIs, with predicting factors: lower income per month, and exposure to antituberculosis drugs, and high level of antimicrobial resistance. Hence, there should be a targeted intervention that could tackle the higher prevalence of infection and antimicrobial resistance among these vulnerable populations, steering the identified predicting factors.
