Actual role of older oral antibiotics in the treatment of resistant Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

ncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most frequent type of infection. They are primarily seen in outpatients, mostly in women, and considered easy-to-manage from a clinical and therapeutic point of view. However, urine cultures are not usually performed and, when performed, reports arrive too late. Therefore, an empiric approach to therapy is required.
