Moreover, this bacterium's multiple resistance rate (38.3%) was significantly higher than other bacteria's multiple resistance rate (χ2 = 81.644, p < 0.05). Compared to older diabetic patients with optimal glucose control (HbA1c ≤7.0%), patients with poor glycemic control (HbA1c >7.0%) had lower resistance rates to lactams, and urine pH values were higher (p < 0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The most common cause of UTIs is E. coli, with advanced age and diabetes being the main risk factors. To optimize UTI treatment safety and efficacy, antibiotics should be administered based on the patient's age and blood glucose control.</p>","PeriodicalId":23414,"journal":{"name":"Urologia Internationalis","volume":" ","pages":"103-111"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142296563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
