Multidrug Resistance of <i>Escherichia coli</i> From Outpatient Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections in a Large United States Integrated Healthcare Organization

Abstract

We observed a slight decrease in both class-specific antimicrobial resistance and MDR of UPEC overall, most commonly involving penicillins and TMP-SMX. Resistance patterns were consistent over time and similar in both in-person and virtual settings. Virtual healthcare may expand access to UTI care.
