Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infection in outpatient settings. Although antibiotics are the primary UTIs treatment, the antibiotic resistance threatens its effectiveness, posing a significant risk to public health. This study aims to explore the common bacterial uropathogens in UTIs patients and to plot the antibiotic susceptibility patterns through a cross-sectional retrospective study. Patients provided aseptic urine samples after consenting, which included clean-catch midstream urine and specimens obtained via straight or indwelling catheters, all stored in sterile containers. Escherichia coli was the most prevalent UTI-causing bacteria (29.2%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (20.8%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10%). Among all pathogens, 34.6% were Extended Spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), including some of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella Pneumoniae. Escherichia coli was the most prevalent UTI-causing bacteria (29.2%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (20.8%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10%).
