Article Synopsis
- The study explores the characteristics of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) associated with recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs), focusing on their antimicrobial resistance.
- Researchers analyzed 140 strains from 70 outpatients suffering from RUTIs to determine whether infections were due to relapse or reinfection.
- Findings revealed that most cases (64.2%) were relapses linked to the original strain, which exhibited significantly higher levels of antimicrobial resistance compared to reinfecting strains, with 89% being multidrug-resistant.
