    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, often recurrent, and can be associated with predisposing factors.
    • Effective antibiotic therapy is crucial for managing UTIs, especially in patients with recurrent infections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of netilmicin in treating urinary tract infections.
    • To assess the impact of netilmicin on bacterial elimination and patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 30 urological patients with normal renal function.
    • Administration of netilmicin at a dosage of 4 mg/kg/day for 4-9 days.
    • Monitoring of clinical signs, symptoms, bacterial eradication, and potential toxicities.

    Main Results:

    • Netilmicin achieved resolution of signs and symptoms in 25 out of 30 patients.
    • Bacterial elimination was observed in 23 patients; recurrence occurred in 8, reinfection in 3.
    • No signs of hematopoietic, renal, or hepatic toxicity were noted; auditory and vestibular functions remained undisturbed.

    Conclusions:

    • Netilmicin, at 4 mg/kg/day, is an efficient antibiotic for treating UTIs.
    • The drug exhibits a favorable safety profile with low toxicity in this patient cohort.
