Antibiogram of Urinary Catheter-Associated Bacterial Pathogens in Intensive Care Unit, King Khalid General Hospital, Hafer Al-Baten, Saudi Arabia.

Key Points

• High resistance rates among bacterial pathogens related to urinary catheter-associated infections were observed.
• A significant proportion of identified bacteria showed resistance to multiple antimicrobial groups, complicating treatment.
• The observational analysis revealed that common antibacterial agents were largely ineffective in the ICU setting.
• This highlights the need for improved infection control measures to address growing bacterial resistance.
