UTI Pathogen

When a patient presents with burning micturition and fever, a UTI diagnosis is often straightforward. But are we always going beyond a general antibiotic prescription?
💡 For effective management and to contribute to #AntibioticStewardship, understanding the causative organism is critical!
Here's a quick refresher on common culprits in different scenarios:
Most Common: E. coli 🦠
Young Females: Don't forget Staphylococcus saprophyticus
Catheterized Patients: Always consider Pseudomonas alongside E. coli
Struvite Stones: Proteus is a key player here due to its urease activity.
Targeted therapy is key to better patient outcomes and fighting resistance.
Now, a quick clinical question for you! 👇
