Trends and correlations of infection rates and drug resistance of Escherichia coli among ICU and Non-ICU patients in Guizhou, China

Key Points

This research examines the relationship between infection rates and drug resistance of E. coli in patients from ICUs and non-ICUs.
Analyzed infection and resistance rates of E. coli
Compared data from ICU and non-ICU patients
Evaluated trends over a specified period
Declining infection rates of E. coli were observed
Lower drug resistance rates were associated with the declining infections
Improved clinical outcomes may result from controlling these rates

Abstract

Declining infection and ICU detection rates of E. coli were associated with reduced drug resistance rates. Controlling infection and drug resistance rates in E. coli may synergistically improve clinical outcomes.
