Abstract:

Annual prevalences of antimicrobial resistance among urine isolates (3,913 isolates and 1,736 isolates) from home-based primary care patients with dementia were high between 2014 and 2018 (ciprofloxacin, 18%-23% and 5%-7%, respectively; multidrug resistance, 9%-11% and 5%-6%, respectively). Multidrug resistance varied by region. Additional studies of antimicrobial resistance in home-care settings are needed.
