Predisposing Factors Associated with Third-Generation Cephalosporin-Resistant Escherichia coli in a Rural Community Hospital in Thailand
The use of third-generation cephalosporin may drive MDR <i>E. coli</i> more than <i>K. pneumoniae</i>. Prior antibiotic exposure was linked to <i>E. coli</i> bloodstream infections, while MDR <i>E. coli</i> showed greater clinical severity. These findings highlighted the need for improved antibiotic stewardship in rural hospitals.
