Guideline Update: Clinical Decision-Making in Complicated Urinary Tract Infections

Course overview

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain one of the most common indications for antimicrobial therapy across all care settings. The emergence of antimicrobial resistance, evolving pathogen profiles, and the growing complexity of UTI presentations, particularly complicated UTIs (cUTIs), have led to updated treatment recommendations. This course provides a comprehensive overview of UTI pathophysiology, risk stratification, and the latest clinical guidelines for management. Emphasis is placed on antimicrobial stewardship and interprofessional collaboration in optimizing treatment outcomes.
