TL;DR: Treatment of women with acute uncomplicated cystitis and pyelonephritis is limited in these guidelines to premenopausal, non-pregnant women with no known urological abnormalities or co-morbidities.

TL;DR: Despite wide intercountry variability in bacterial susceptibility rates to the other antimicrobials tested, fosfomycin and mecillinam have preserved their in vitro activity in all countries investigated against the most common uropathogens.

TL;DR: The survey found that the urinary tract is the commonest source of nosocomial infection, particularly when the bladder is catheterised, and Clinicians should always consider alternatives to indwelling urethral catheters that are less prone to causing symptomatic infection.

TL;DR: Infective complications after transrectal P-Bx are important because of the associated patient morbidity, and the study confirms a high incidence of fluoroquinolone resistance in causative bacteria.

TL;DR: There is limited evidence for most of the decisions made each day in the management of these infections, and additional clinical research is necessary to improve UTI prevention and care strategies.
