Abstract
Urinary tract infections requiring treatment are extremely common. It is estimated that between 20 and 50% of adult women will have had at least one symptomatic urinary tract infection. When considering the optimal therapy of any infection, patient factors, organism factors, drug factors (e.g. pharmacokinetics), side-effects and cost as well as antimicrobial resistance all need to be considered. This paper deals with the impact of increasing antibiotic resistance on the management of urinary tract infections.Entities:
