12 September 2022
This study aimed to identify risk factors for antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli bacteraemia related to UTI.
This study showed a high prevalence of trimethoprim resistance and MDR in patients with E. coli bacteraemia related to UTI. This supports the withdrawal of trimethoprim from first-line treatment of UTIs in patients with risk factors for trimethoprim resistance. It has also identified risk factors for MDR in E. coli bacteraemia.
