Abstract:
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common and women with typical symptoms may be treated empirically without culture. We evaluated the utility of urine culture in men presenting with typical symptoms of uncomplicated UTI. Most pathogens isolated retained susceptibility to first-line antimicrobials suggesting urine cultures may be unnecessary in this population.
