Antimicrobial resistance in ESKAPEE pathogens isolated from institutionalized vs. non-institutionalized elderly patients with urinary tract infections: a 5-years study.
Observational study in World journal of urology, 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
backgroundUrinary tract infections are frequently diagnosed in institutionalized patients, often resulting in unnecessary antibiotic use, especially in asymptomatic cases. This, along with prevalent asymptomatic bacteriuria in the elderly, contributes to antimicrobial resistance, with nursing homes serving as key reservoirs. AIM
methodThis study aims to delineate the burden of AMR in ESKAPEE uro-pathogens among elderly patients (aged ≥ 65 years) and to assess the impact of institutionalization on AMR rates, in accordance with EUCAST guidelines.
methodA retrospective observational study was carried out between 2016 and 2020 using urine culture data obtained from the Microbiology Department of Hospital San Pedro (Spain). Positive urine cultures were reviewed, and isolates belonging to the ESKAPEE group of pathogens were identified and analyzed anonymously.
resultsA total of 34,791 urine cultures were analyzed, of which 26,127 (75.1%) were from the ESKAPEE group. Escherichia coli was identified as the most frequently isolated ESKAPEE pathogen (80.5%). Institutionalized patients showed significantly higher AMR rates for numerous antibiotics compared to their non-institutionalized counterparts, particularly manifest in the pronounced resistance rates to fluoroquinolones and a greater prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in nursing homes (p<0.001). Additionally, NH settings demonstrated increased rates of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, underscoring a critical challenge in managing UTIs in these environments.
conclusionIn anticipation of a potential post-antibiotic era, it is imperative to enhance infection control measures and antibiotic stewardship in nursing homes to address the growing burden of MDR bacteria and safeguard patient health.
