Brief Summary

A retrospective observational study to assess the clinical management and outcomes of hospitalised patients with complicated urinary tract infection in countries with high prevalence of multidrug resistant gram-negative bacteria (COMBACTE-MAGNET,WP5)

Detailed Description

Bacterial resistance to antimicrobial drugs is a major public health problem. Of greatest concern is the rapid emergence and dissemination of resistance to third generation cephalosporins in Enterobacteriaceae, especially Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. This is frequently seen in association with resistance to other classes of antibiotics leading to a multidrug resistance (MDR) profile. These MDR isolates are often involved in complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), and are associated with poor clinical outcomes. In addition, in the last decade there has been an emergence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, which are also resistant to other antibiotics than carbapenems, leaving few therapeutic options.

The overall aim of this study is to provide information about the epidemiology, clinical management and outcome of patients hospitalised with cUTI, including pyelonephritis. To achieve this aim, the investigators will perform a multicentre retrospective observational study in patients with hospitalised cUTI. The study will be conducted in several European countries plus Israel, which have a high prevalence of MDR Gram-negative bacteria (GNB), including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study will seek to identify possible modifiable risk factors for treatment failure, especially those related to antibiotic therapy.

On completion of this study, the investigators will develop a better understanding of the clinical management of hospitalised patients with cUTI due to MDR GNB in European countries. The investigators will identify the modifiable risk factors for treatment failure. This information will be used to inform better clinical and antibiotic management of cUTI to improve patient outcomes. The study will also be used in the development of hypothesis for future randomised controlled trials in cUTI with new antibiotics. Dissemination of results will take place through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.
