Assessment of Factors Associated With Community-Acquired Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> Urinary Tract Infections in France

Abstract

The findings of this cross-sectional study suggest that multiple human health, animal health, and environmental factors are associated with the occurence of community-acquired ESBL E coli UTI. Strategies to mitigate ESBL in the community should follow the One Health approach and address the role played by fluoroquinolones, tetracycline use, poultry density, overcrowded households, and preschool-aged children.
