Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. Antibiotic options for prophylaxis or curative treatment in case of recurrent UTIs, especially due to multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO), are scarce. We present the case of a 72-year-old man with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction and history of frequent recurrent UTIs due to multiple MDROs who was successfully treated with hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) bladder instillations. We also provide a literature review on the efficacy of HA-CS intravesical instillations for prevention of UTI among this population.
