Minimizing Antibiotic Resistance Development in Uncomplicated UTIs

Panelists discuss how clinicians are addressing antimicrobial stewardship in urinary tract infection (UTI) management through implementation of evidence-based guidelines, delayed prescribing strategies, shorter treatment durations, targeted narrow-spectrum antibiotics based on local resistance patterns, increased use of culture-guided therapy, nonantibiotic preventive approaches, and enhanced patient education about appropriate antibiotic use.
