The importance of gender-stratified antibiotic resistance surveillance of unselected uropathogens, "Beyond the Abstract," by Casper D.J. den Heijer, PhD, et al
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - With respect to antibiotic resistance surveillance systems, several issues need to be considered. For urinary tract infections (UTIs), most guidelines are based on studies that have been performed among women, but with the obvious genito-urinary differences, it is questionable whether these results can be extrapolated to men.
