This episode of the SOS AMS podcast focuses on the diagnosis, microbiology, and management of urinary tract infections, including cystitis, pyelonephritis, and catheter-associated UTIs. Our hosts also discuss the pressures in practice that lead to over-diagnosis of UTIs, a significant contributor to antibiotic resistance. They then end the podcast by applying the principles discussed to two patient cases, addressing common practice issues that arise when dealing with patients with suspected urinary tract infection. Relevant references can be accessed at the provided hyperlink, and we would encourage taking a read through the excellent 3 page article written by Dr. Tom Finucane of Johns Hopkins.
