Abstract:
Infections of the urinary tract (IUT) belong to the most prevalent infectious diseases. Acute cystitis is the most frequent symptom of uncomplicated IUT. The main agents of IUT are gram-negative enterobacteria, mainly Escherichia coli (80%). The agents of uncomplicated IUT are the least resistant (5%) to fluoroquinolones (norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin). The duration of antibiotic therapy for acute cystitis is determined predominantly by risk factors: a 7-day course is recommended for cases with risk factors and a 3-day one for cases without risk factors. In acute pyelonephritis antibiotic therapy should be longer (10-14 days). Preventive therapy is recommended for patients with frequent relapses of IUT.
