Emerging drug resistance in community-acquired urinary tract infection and molecular insights into dynamics of resistance traits in Indian isolates- A pan-India multi-centric cross-sectional study

To determine the epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of uropathogens causing community-acquired UTI at the rural health centres from different regions of India. Also, to characterize the ESBL producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae isolates for presence of various resistance genes with their mechanism of transfer, virulence associated genes, and genetic plasticity using WGS
