ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to compare community-onset healthcare-associated (CO-HCA) and hospital-acquired (HA) urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli in terms of epidemiology, clinical outcomes and antimicrobial activities.METHODS:
Patients from both groups with ESBL-producing E. coli detected by urine culture between January 2009 and January 2011 were included in this retrospective study. Relevant demographical, microbiologic and clinical data were obtained from case records.RESULTS:
A total of 173 patients (mean age of 58 years, 74% female) were included, of whom 75 (43.4%) had a CO-HCA UTI and 98 (56.6%) had an HA UTI. Eighty (46.2%) patients had more than one comorbid disease, of whom 57 (32.5%) had urological problems. The most common clinical manifestations were pyelonephritis (43.9%) and urosepsis (16.2%). An age of > 65 years (p = 0.005) in addition to urinary catheterisation (p = 0.001), urosepsis (p = 0.001) and mortality (p = 0.001) were significantly more common in the HA UTI group. Acute cystitis (p = 0.027), complicated cystitis (p = 0.001) and non-urologic neoplasm (p = 0.032) were significantly more common in the CO-HCA UTI group. No isolate was resistant to carbapenems or fosfomycin. Sensitivities to nitrofurantoin, amikacin, trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole-trimoxazole and quinolones were 97.6%, 89%, 29.4% and 17.9% respectively. Both groups showed similar rates of antibiotic resistance.CONCLUSION:
ESBL-producing E. coli should be taken into consideration in patients with a CO HCA UTI, not only in hospital settings but also in outpatient settings. We suggest ertapenem as a first-line empirical treatment for patients with an upper UTI and fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin for those with a lower UTI when ESBL-producing E. coli is suspected.
