Significant potential risk factors for ESBL‐UTI were previous use of antibiotics in the last 3 months, previous hospitalization in the last 3 months, history of recurrent UTI, and presence of renal anomalies. On logistic regression analysis, history of previous hospitalization in the last 3 months (OR= 3.83, CI 1.49‐ 9.84) was identified as an independent significant risk factor for ESBL‐ UTI .There was a significantly higher resistance to amoxicillin‐clavulanate, amikacin, gentamycin and quinolones in cases compared to controls.
