Factors Associated With the Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli in a Referral Hospital in Northern Peru

Introduction

Antimicrobial resistance in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) compromises urinary tract infection management, yet analytical evidence from northern Peru remains limited. This study evaluated demographic and clinical factors associated with resistance in UPEC isolates from a regional referral hospital.
