Introduction: Urinary tract infections (utis) are the second most frequent reason for healthcare visits, and antibiotic resistance among gram-negative bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family has increased significantly worldwide. The emergence of microorganisms that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl) is especially problematic. This study aims to identify factors associated with the presence of uti caused by esbl-producing pathogens. Material and methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted, and the urine culture database from a private healthcare clinic was analyzed. Factors possibly associated with the appearance of utis due to esbl-producing pathogens were analyzed, including sex, age, number of hospitalizations, and previous utis. Results: A total of 1405 positive urine cultures were studied, 85.48% of which belonged to women. The mean age of the subjects ...
