Epidemiological characteristics and antibiotic resistance of pathogens in urinary tract infection in Chengdu 2019–2023, China
The main pathogens of UTIs were Escherichia coli. Changes in UTIs risk and antibiotic resistance may be associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, we have observed a gradual increase in antibiotic resistance among certain pathogens. Therefore, to ensure optimal therapeutic efficacy, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and bacterial culture should be performed prior to antibiotic administration, thus ensuring rational and effective use.
