Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two treatments, β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (BLBLIs) and carbapenems, for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hospitalized patients.
- An analysis of data from 557 patients revealed a 30-day treatment failure rate of 10.4%, with factors like immunocompromised status and septic shock increasing this risk.
- The findings indicate that carbapenem treatments may be more effective than BLBLI treatments, especially for immunocompromised patients, but further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these results.
