Antibiotic Resistance Pattern and Phylogenetic Groups of the Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolates Recovered from the Urinary Catheters of the Hospitalized Patients

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern and Phylogenetic Groups of the Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolates Recovered from the Urinary Catheters of the Hospitalized Patients

Introduction: Almost 80% of nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs) are due to catheterization. Catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI) is the primary source for colonization of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, and uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the most common causative bacteria. This study was...
