Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) are common in adult women across the entire age spectrum, with mean annual incidences of approximately 15% and 10% in those aged 15–39 and 40–79 years, respectively. By definition, UTIs in males or pregnant females and those associated with ris...
4,13 Although β-lactam antibiotics have long been used for the treatment of UTIs, lower UTI cure rates have generally been observed compared with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and fluoroquinolones regardless of the duration of treatment.4 Amoxicillin-clavulanate has been used for the treatment of UTIs...
We excluded those with complicated UTI. The primary outcome was one or more symptomatic, culture-proven UTIs within 12 months. Multivariable logistic regression assessed differences in the primary outcome while controlling for potential confounders. Results Among the 246 patients, women receiving extended...
Main exclusion criteria were pregnancy and lactation; suspected upper UTI (presence of fever, chills, or flank pain); antibiotic use or any symptoms consistent with UTI in the preceding 4 weeks; indwelling urinary catheter or otherwise complicated UTI; immunosuppression (untreated infection with HIV,...

Yet, a study found that patients infected with trimethoprim-resistantEscherichia coli(E. coli) had a prolonged duration of symptoms even if treated with an antibiotic to...
(UTI) is a common cause of antibiotic use, little is known about the appropriate duration of treatment. For asymptomatic bacteriuria and/or pyuria, a high-quality study suggested delaying the initiation of antibiotic agents for bacteriuria without symptoms and recommended a short-duration treatment ...
