Epidemiology and genetic characteristics of extended-spectrum -lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacteria causing urinary tract infections in long-term care facilities

Abstract

Exposure to ≥7 days of quinolones and third-generation cephalosporins significantly increases the risk of ESBL+ GN UTI. Interventions aimed at improving compliance with antimicrobial stewardship principles should be further developed and implemented in LTCFs.
