Background: Periprocedural prophylaxis in medicine encompasses the set of measures (physical, chemical, and pharmacological) used to reduce the risk of infection. Antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) refers to the administration of a short-term regimen of antibiotics shortly before a medical procedure to reduce the risk of infectious complications that can result from diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. The outspreading growth of multidrug-resistant bacterial species and changes in the bacterial local ecosystem have impeded the development of a unique scheme of AP in urology. Objectives: To review the literature and current guidelines regarding AP for urological diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and to define agents, timing, and occasions when administering pharmacological prophylaxis. Secondly, according to current literature, to open new scenarios where AP can be useful or useless. Results: Major gaps in evidence still exist in this field. AP appears useful in many invasive procedures and some sub-populations at risk of infectious complications. AP is not routinely recommended for urodynamic exams, diagnostic cystoscopy, and extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy. The available data regarding the use of AP during the transperineal prostate biopsy are still unclear; conversely, in the case of the transrectal approach AP is mandatory. AP is still considered the gold standard for the prevention of postoperative infective complications in the case of ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, endoscopic resection of bladder tumor, endoscopic resection of the prostate, and prosthetic or major surgery. Conclusion: The review highlights the complexity of determining the appropriate candidates for AP, emphasizing the importance of considering patient-specific factors such as comorbidities, immunocompetence, and the nature of the urologic intervention. The evidence suggests that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable, and a tailored strategy based on the specific procedure and patient characteristics is essential.

Aim: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in children. Empirical antibiotic treatment is recommended until the antibiogram reports of urine culture are available. It is essential to initiate local UTI agents and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in specific geographical regions to choose the best empirical antibiotics. The current study aimed to determine causative microorganisms and antibiotic resistance patterns in children diagnosed with UTI. Material and Methods: The study was carried out retrospectively with 216 children diagnosed with UTIs for the first time. The patients were categorized into two groups according to age (≤1 year and >1 year). Demographic data, presenting symptoms, imaging findings, and urine and culture analysis results were collected and compared between these two groups. Results: Cefazolin and nitrofurantoin use may be preferred in the empirical treatment of UTIs caused by Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp. Additionally, amoxicillin/clavulanate was recommended in the empirical therapy of UTIs caused by Enterococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., and Proteus spp. The trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and nitrofurantoin resistance of E. coli was found to be statistically significantly higher in the ≤1 year group (p=0.03 and p=0.01, respectively), while the nitrofurantoin resistance of Klebsiella was statistically significantly higher in the >1 year group (p=0.01). The gentamicin resistance of Klebsiella spp. was statistically significantly higher in the ≤1 year group (p=0.03). Conclusion: It is important to detect regional antibiotic resistance patterns to manage UTIs and minimize related complications. Antibiotic susceptibility studies are necessary to reduce improper antibiotic use and resistance rates of antibiotics.
