TLDR
Antibiotic therapy for 3 days is similar to prolonged therapy in achieving symptomatic cure for cystitis, while the prolonged treatment is more effective in obtaining bacteriological cure.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiology of urinary tract infection
TL;DR: Treatment of UTIs with antibiotics leads to a more rapid resolution of symptoms and is more likely to clear bacteriuria, but also selects for resistant uropathogens and commensal bacteria and adversely affects the gut and vaginal microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection
TL;DR: Nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole, fosfomycin, and pivmecillinam are considered first-line agents for cystitis, but fluoroquinolones should not be routine first- line choices for cysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncomplicated urinary tract infection in adults including uncomplicated pyelonephritis.
TL;DR: The evolution of antimicrobial susceptibility of E. coli in community-acquired infection requires continuing re-evaluation of appropriate empiric therapy.

TL;DR: The ability to diagnose, treat, and manage rUTI long-term has evolved due to additional insights into the pathophysiology of rutI, a new appreciation for the adverse effects of repetitive antimicrobial therapy, rising rates of bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and better reporting of the natural history and clinical outcomes of acute cystitis and rUTi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinary Tract Infections
TL;DR: Efforts should be made not to detect or treat asymptomatic bacteriuria and funguria; to ensure an appropriate duration of therapy for symptomatic infections; and to limit the use of broad-spectrum agents, especially fluoroquinolones, if narrower spectrum agents are available.

Urinary tract infection: self-reported incidence and associated costs.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate that by age 24, one-third of women will have at least one physician-diagnosed UTI that was treated with prescription medication, and the annual cost of UTI cases with prescriptions to be $1.6 billion in 1995.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinary Tract Infection
TL;DR: If a vaccine were developed that would prevent either initial or recurrent UTI the net benefits to society would be substantial, even at a developmental cost of one billion dollars.

Intracellular bacterial biofilm-like pods in urinary tract infections
Gregory G. Anderson,Joseph J. Palermo,Joel D. Schilling,Robyn Roth,John E. Heuser,Scott J. Hultgren +5 more
TL;DR: It is discovered that the intracellular bacteria matured into biofilms, creating pod-like bulges on the bladder surface, which explains how bladder infections can persist in the face of robust host defenses.

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.

A Prospective Study of Risk Factors for Symptomatic Urinary Tract Infection in Young Women

TL;DR: Among sexually active young women the incidence of symptomatic urinary tract infection is high, and the risk is strongly and independently associated with recent sexual intercourse, recent use of a diaphragm with spermicide, and a history of recurrent urinary tract infections.
