Abstract
Background
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) contribute substantially to infectious disease morbidity, while locally derived antimicrobial resistance data remain limited in many semi-urban Nigerian settings. This study assessed uropathogen prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility at Igbinedion University Teaching Hospital, Okada, Nigeria, to support local stewardship and empirical treatment decisions.
