Changing Genotypic Distribution, Antimicrobial Susceptibilities, and Risk Factors of Urinary Tract Infection Caused by Carbapenemase-Producing < em > Pseudomonas aeruginosa < /em >

CONCLUSIONS: The changing trend and genetic distribution of CPPA isolates emphasize the need for relentless monitoring to control further dissemination. The use of carbapenems, ICU stay, and WBC count should be considered risk factors, and aggressive antibiotic stewardship programs and monitoring may serve to prevent worse outcomes.PMID:37665284 | PMC:PMC10485864 | DOI:10.3343/alm.2024.44.1.38
