Antibiotics in urology: new essentials
Abstract
The bacterial spectrum and rates of antimicrobial resistance of uncomplicated community-acquired and complicated and nosocomially acquired urinary tract infections differ substantially. Significant variation exists from region to region and over time. On the other hand, antibiotics are widely used in urologic practice for the need of modern medicine; therefore, antibiotic substances are continuously evaluated for clinical usage. The use of antibiotics must keep up with continuous changes in antimicrobial resistance and be tailored to the needs of individual patients.
