Abstract

A new category of infections called healthcare-associated (HCA) infections was created due to increased procedures performed in outpatient clinics of hospitals. The risk of HCA infections is on the rise as the use of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) is increasing. HCA-urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most frequently occurring bacterial infections. In clinical and microbiological analyses, HCA-UTI is similar to hospital-acquired-UTI. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms in HCA-UTI has increased and is varied according to the type of LTCFs and regions. Finally, prior investigations reported the association between several risk factors and MDR acquisition, which vary considerably according to study design. Therefore, additional research is needed to develop a more accurate methodology.
