The Importance of Antimicrobial Strategies Associated with Clinical Cure and Increased Microbiological Eradication in Patients with Complicated Urinary Tract Infections and High Risk of Relapse.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) are serious, potentially life-threatening infections that occur in patients with an increased disease progression risk. Antimicrobial resistance represents an important health issue worldwide, contributing to relapses, which can generate further resistances. It is necessary to clarify the role of microbiological eradication as an additional objective in the management of cUTIs. Some publications suggest that relapses relate to insufficient bacterial suppression in the urinary tract. This study focuses on generating a consensus on how patients with cUTIs would benefit from effective antimicrobial agents associated with higher rates of bacterial eradication.
