Urinary Tract Infections During Pregnancy
TL;DR: Therapeutic management of UTIs in pregnancy requires proper diagnostic workup and thorough understanding of antimicrobial agents to optimize maternal outcome, ensure safety to the fetus, and prevent complications that lead to significant morbidity and mortality in both the fetus and the mother.

Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of community-acquired uropathogens in Tehran, Iran.
TL;DR: Nitrofurantoin may be considered as a first-line empiric antibacterial agent for urinary tract infections in outpatients in Tehran, Iran.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population dynamics and niche distribution of uropathogenic Escherichia coli during acute and chronic urinary tract infection.
TL;DR: It is discovered that each IBC is clonally derived from a single bacterium, and it is argued that during the acute stages of infection, a higher number of IBCs precedes chronic cystitis than precedes QIR formation.

Clinical relevance of laboratory-reported antibiotic resistance in acute uncomplicated urinary tract infection in primary care
Cliodna A. M. McNulty,J. Richards,David M. Livermore,Paul Little,Andre Charlett,E. Freeman,Ian Harvey,Mike Thomas +7 more
TL;DR: Empirical antibiotic treatment in acute, uncomplicated UTIs is suggested and trimethoprim resistance was rarer than predicted from routine laboratory submissions and it is calculated that 23 women require microbiological investigation to prevent one reconsultation arising from resistance-based treatment failure.

Containing antibiotic resistance: decreased antibiotic-resistant coliform urinary tract infections with reduction in antibiotic prescribing by general practices
Christopher C Butler,Frank David John Dunstan,Margaret Heginbothom,Brendan W. Mason,Zoe Elizabeth Sara Roberts,Sharon Hillier,Robin Howe,Stephen Palmer,Anthony Howard +8 more
TL;DR: Reducing antibiotic dispensing at general-practice level is associated with reduced local antibiotic resistance, and these findings should further encourage clinicians and patients to use antibiotics conservatively.

Diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection
Thomas M. Hooton,Walter E. Stamm +1 more
TL;DR: The optimal treatment duration for acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis has not been established, but 10- to 14-day regimens are recommended, and patients prefer to use antimicrobials that attain high renal tissue levels, such as a fluoroquinolone, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or an aminoglycoside for pyel onephritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens causing acute uncomplicated cystitis in women.
TL;DR: While the prevalence of resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin, and cephalothin increased significantly among uropathogens causing acute cystitis, resistance to nitrofurantoin and ciprofloxacin remained infrequent.
