The clinical relevance of bacteriuria following antibiotic treatment of complicated urinary tract infections in clinical trials remains controversial. We evaluated the impact of urine pharmacokinetics on the timing of recurrent bacteriuria in a recently completed trial that compared oral tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide to intravenous ertapenem. The urinary clearance and urine dwell time of ertapenem were prolonged relative to tebipenem and were associated with a temporal difference in the repopulation of bladder urine with bacteria following treatment, potentially confounding the assessment of efficacy.

Objective: Studies evaluating urine culture requests in our country have highlighted a high rate of requests that fall outside the indications specified in clinical guidelines. We evaluated the current degree of inadequacy in the request of urine cultures and how this influences the therapeutic decisions of general practitioners.
Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study.
Prevalence and risk factors of antibiotic resistance for urinary tract infections in patients presenting to a Belgian tertiary care emergency department: testing the national guidelines against the local setting.

Objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are an important cause of empiric antibiotic (over)treatment at the emergency department (ED). To enhance empiric antibiotic choices, mapping the national and local microbiology and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns is crucial. This study aims to examine resistance patterns at a Brussels ED and to identify risk factors for AMR to evaluate current treatment guidelines and help combat AMR.

Article Synopsis
- Urinary tract infections and bacteriuria are prevalent among adolescents, with rising antibiotic resistance posing a significant health risk.
- A study in Tlaxcala, Mexico, involved 905 adolescents aged 11 to 18 and found a bacteriuria prevalence of 3.4%, primarily affecting asymptomatic individuals.
- Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen identified, with notable resistance to antibiotics, and risk factors included being female, sexually active, using contraceptives, and consuming sweetened drinks.
