Table 1. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of E. coli isolates in percentage which belonged to pathotypic and commensal phylogroups of CA UTI and HA UTI.

E. coli - Escherichia coli, CA - community-acquired, HA - hospital-acquired

Note: p-value shown in the table are calculated by comparing antibiotic-resistant profiles of two groups of E.coli isolates which are associated with CA UTI and HA UTI

Antimicrobial agent CA UTI E. coli isolates (N=100) HA UTI E. coli isolates (N=50) p-value
