Comparison of circulatory inflammatory markers, including CRPs and NLR between two ESBL-positive UTI groups in accordance with T2DM status. (A, B) Serum CRP and blood NLR levels between E. coli and K. pneumonia in all ESBL-UTI cases. Representative data showing that patients with ESBL-E. coli UTIs had lower serum CRP levels and higher blood NLR compared to ESBL-K. pneumoniae UTIs. (C, D) Serum CRP and blood NLR between E. coli and K. pneumonia in T2DM ESBL-UTI cases. Representative data showing that T2DM patients with ESBL-E. coli UTIs had lower serum CRP levels and higher blood NLR compared to ESBL-K. pneumoniae UTIs. (E, F) Serum CRP and blood NLR between E. coli and K. pneumonia in non-T2DM ESBL-UTI cases. Representative data showing that non-T2DM patients with ESBL-E. coli UTIs had both lower serum CRP levels and blood NLR compared to ESBL-K. pneumoniae UTIs.The values of serum CRP and blood NLR levels were reported in median and IQR. Two-way comparison was done using Mann–Whitney test. * P<0.05, ** P<0.001, ns= non-significant.
