(a) MDR Bar graph represents the occurrence of UTI in males and females: The graph provides details on MDR profiling.The bar graph depicts the number of MDR and NON-MDR isolates among males (red) and females (blue). A higher incidence of MDR isolates were observed in females compared to males. (b) Age-Gender-ESBL Bar graph represents the occurrence of UTI in various age groups: The bar graph shows the distribution of the ESBL-producing isolates among the groups of different ages and genders. In the majority of age groups, the female patients had higher numbers of ESBL-positive isolates compared with the male patients. A significant peak in the prevalence of ESBL was observed for both genders in the 61–70 age group; at the same time, females uniformly showed higher rates in all age groups. Such a trend points toward a number of age- and gender-related dynamics in the spread of ESBL.
