Microbiological profile and epidemiological perspective on urinary tract infections (UTIs) in a tertiary medical center in Western Mexico.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Urinary tract infections are among the most frequent healthcare-associated infections and represent a major public health challenge due to their increasing antimicrobial resistance. Data from tertiary-care hospitals in Mexico remain scarce. This study aims to describe prevalence and microbiological profile of healthcare-associated UTIs in a tertiary medical facility in western Mexico. Methods: A cross-sectional study included all UTI cases recorded from January to December 2024. Data was obtained from the institutional epidemiological surveillance platform (INOSO). Descriptive statistics were applied using measures of central tendency, proportions and confidence intervals. Antimicrobial resistance profiles were analyzed using automated Vitek® testing for Antibiotic susceptibility testing and mass spectrometry for pathogen identification. Results: A total of 376 patients were included (mean age 52.9 years; 53.2% women). Healthcare-associated UTIs represented 80.6% of cases. Monthly incidence displayed a multimodal pattern with peaks in April and October. Nephrology, Cardiology, and Neurosurgery accounted for >50% of cases. Among 120 isolates, bacteria comprised 70.8%, mainly Conclusion: UTIs in a tertiary-care hospital in Mexico exhibit high prevalence, multimodal temporal dynamics, and alarming antimicrobial resistance. Continuous surveillance, antimicrobial stewardship, and targeted infection-control strategies are urgently needed in high-risk hospital units.
