Antimicrobial resistance in urosepsis: outcomes from the multinational, multicenter global prevalence of infections in urology (GPIU) study 2003–2013

1

Urosepsis is a significant cause of severe sepsis and septic shock, with high mortality rates of 28% and 41%, respectively.
2

Inadequate antibiotic coverage in urosepsis is a critical issue, necessitating better understanding of pathogen spectrum and resistance.
3

The GPIU study, conducted from 2003 to 2013, focused on infections in hospitalized urological patients, providing valuable data on urosepsis.
4

A total of 408 patients with microbiologically proven urosepsis were identified, representing 25.4% of HAUTIs in the study.
5

The study highlighted the need to reassess the appropriateness of using HAUTI data to represent urosepsis pathogen profiles and resistance.
