Antibiotic resistance patterns of community-acquired urinary tract infections caused by Enterobacterales in Albania.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The escalating rates of antibiotic resistance, especially through Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) production within Enterobacterales represents a critical challenge in the effective management and treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs). This study aims to examine the distribution of pathogens, assess the prevalence of ESBL production, and analyze the resistance patterns of Enterobacterales isolated from outpatient urocultures in Albania. Methods: Midstream urine specimens from 406 patients were cultured on MacConkey agar and analyzed using the VITEK 2 automated system (bioMérieux, France). Samples with a bacterial count of ≥100,000 CFU/ml were considered positive for UTIs. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS software, version 27.0. Results: Among the analyzed samples, 271 (66.7 %) tested positive for UTIs. Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Enterobacterales (88.5 %) were the most common while Conclusions: Our findings highlight the significant issue of antibiotic resistance in community-acquired UTIs in Albania, particularly involving Enterobacterales. Ongoing surveillance and tailored treatment strategies, alongside antibiotic stewardship programs, are crucial to address this growing public health concern.
