A retrospective analysis of uropathogens isolated and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns at a regional hospital in North West province, South Africa
This retrospective analysis identifies predominant uropathogens' updated antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, some of which misalign with NEML guidelines. Insights will guide targeted antimicrobial stewardship, empiric therapy, and local surveillance to curb AMR.
