Antimicrobial Resistance Trends in Urine <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolates From Adult and Adolescent Females in the United States From 2011 to 2019: Rising ESBL Strains and Impact on Patient Management

Abstract

Period prevalence of AMR among US outpatient urine-isolated E. coli was high, and for multidrug-resistance phenotypes increased during the study period with significant variation between census regions. Knowledge of regional AMR rates helps inform empiric treatment of community-onset uUTI and highlights the AMR burden to physicians.
