Abstract
in English, French

Antibiotics are most commonly prescribed for urinary bacterial infections. The purpose of this article is to review the most common infections of the genitourinary tract and to guide the choice of the most appropriate treatment. This choice depends also on the patients general state, local associated conditions and can range from observation to an emergency hospitalisation. Primary care physicians remain in the first line to take care of these patients but the urologists or the infectious disease specialists can provide some help in complex situations.

Les infections urinaires bactériennes sont l’une des principales indications à la prescription d’antibiotiques. Le but de cet article est d’aider le praticien à reconnaître les diverses infections du tractus urogénital et à les traiter en utilisant les antibiotiques de façon appropriée. Le choix du traitement dépend aussi de l’état général du patient, de conditions locales associées et peut aller de l’abstention thérapeutique à l’hospitalisation en urgence. Le médecin de famille est en première ligne dans la prise en charge de ces pathologies fréquentes et l’urologue ou l’infectiologue peuvent apporter leur contribution dans les situations complexes.
