Etiology and prevalence of ESBLs in adult community-onset urinary tract infections in East China: A prospective multicenter study

Abstract

Enterobacterales, especially E. coli, is the most common pathogen in COUTIs in China and ESBL-producers are highly prevalent. Thus, early prediction depending on risk factors seems to be crucial to determine the appropriate empirical therapy for infections caused by ESBL-producing pathogens.
