- Objectives: Treatment options for urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacterales are limited. Moreover, evidence to support therapeutic decisions is lacking. This study assessed current treatment strategies and patient and pathogen characteristics in relation to clinical and microbiological outcomes.Methods: Patients with UTI caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacterales were prospectively recruited by investigators at 15 infectious disease hospital departments. Data were collected on patient characteristics, treatments, clinical and microbiological cure 10–14 days after the end of treatment, and relapse within 3 months. Bacterial isolates were subjected to MIC determination and WGS.Results: In total, 235 patients (107 febrile UTI, 128 lower UTI) caused by Escherichia coli (n = 223) and Klebsiella spp. (n = 12) were included. Clinical and microbiological cure rates were 83% and 64% in febrile UTI, and 79% and 65% in lower UTI. Great variability in treatments was observed, especially in oral therapy for febrile UTI. No difference was seen in clinical outcomes with piperacillin/tazobactam (n = 28) compared with carbapenems (n = 41). Pivmecillinam was frequently used in lower UTI (n = 62), and was also associated with high clinical cure rates when used as initial therapy (10/10) or follow-up (7/8) for febrile UTI. Recurrent infection, diabetes mellitus and urogenital disease were associated (P < 0.05) with clinical failure and relapse. In E. coli, ST131 was significantly associated with relapse, and haemolysin with microbiological failure or relapse.Conclusions: Antibiotic treatments were highly variable. Patient and pathogen factors were identified as potential determinants of disease presentation and outcomes and may prove useful to guide individualized treatment and follow-up.
