Bacterial profile, antimicrobial susceptibility, and associated factors of urinary tract infection among people living with HIV at Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia

(AOR = 3.17; 95% CI 1.14-9.52; p = 0.028), and being symptomatic (AOR = 3.80; 95% CI 1.63-8.74; p = 0.024) were significantly associated with UTIs. The multidrug-resistant prevalence was 17.9%, highlighting the need for strengthened diagnostics, susceptibility-guided therapy, routine screening, and PLWHIV education on perineal hygiene to improve management and limit antimicrobial resistance.
