We identified 1,805 gram-negative organisms in urine cultures from residents of 63 long-term care facilities (LTCFs) over 10 months. Fluoroquinolone resistance was 51% among E. coli, while 26% and 6% of Klebsiella were resistant to ceftazidime and imipenem, respectively. Resistance varied significantly by type of LTCF, LTCF size, and geographic region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
