Examining the Need for Updated Guidelines for Uncomplicated UTIs

Panelists discuss how uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) are typically managed with empiric short-course antibiotics based on local resistance patterns while identifying significant gaps in the outdated 2010 Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines, including insufficient guidance on emerging resistance trends, limited recommendations for alternative therapies, inadequate consideration of patient-specific factors, absence of antimicrobial stewardship protocols, and minimal direction on prevention strategies for recurrent infections.
