However, the use of antibiotics often poses a risk of bacterial resistance that causes UTIs which has an impact on increasing morbidity rates, resulting in high UTI treatment costs. This study aims to determine the pattern of UTI bacterial resistance to antibiotics in UTI patients at a private hospital in North Jakarta for the 2019-2021 period. Cross sectional design, using a non-analytic retrospective approach conducted at a private hospital in North Jakarta for the 2019-2021 period. The sample of this study was secondary data totaling 159 urine of UTI patients taken by purposive sampling.
