Abstract
This proof-of-concept study demonstrates that no longer routinely reporting urine culture results from noncatheterized medical and surgical inpatients can greatly reduce unnecessary antimicrobial therapy for asymptomatic bacteriuria without significant additional laboratory workload. Larger studies are needed to confirm the generalizability, safety, and sustainability of this model of care.Entities:
