Main Article Content

Panpit Suwangool, MD

Abstract

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections in both the out and inpatient settings. Increasing  antimicrobial resistance of urinary pathogens has highlighted the need for reevaluation of the treatment options.1-3 Since management of UTIs widely varies, these guidelines may help  physicians choose cost-effective options. 4-10
