AMR

Have you prescribed antibiotics for UTI without a bacterial culture test?

November is Bladder Health Month 2023, and we want to raise awareness about urinary tract infections (UTIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

UTIs are one of the most common infections. With current practices they are often treated with a course of antibiotics even without diagnostic testing1 or in case of asymptomatic patients with a positive culture result2,3. Antibiotic treatment for asymptomatic bacteriuria is a major driver of inappropriate antibiotic use2. Even with mild to moderate symptoms the infection could be self-limiting and might not require antibiotic treatment4,5.

Antibiotics should be used only when necessary, after confirmation of bacterial infection and choosing correct antibiotic, dose, and duration. Also, using wide-spectrum antibiotics should be limited only for situations when they are truly needed. Otherwise, and especially in case of such a common reason like a UTI to be prescribed antibiotics, we risk driving AMR.
