“…For urinary tract infections, a recent meta-analysis of treatment in pyelonephritis showed that a short course of antibiotic (≤7 days), regardless of antibiotic class, resulted in higher clinical cure rate with no significant difference in clinical failure. 181 However, longer duration may be required for complicated pyelonephritis, i.e. patients with urogenital abnormalities.…”

The emergence of carbapenem-resistant organisms (CROs) is a significant global threat. Reduction of carbapenem consumption can decrease CROs. In the global endemic era of ESBL-producing bacteria, carbapenems are considered the treatment of choice, leading to challenge in limiting carbapenem use. This review describes the role of precision prescribing for prevention of CROs. This involves improving antibiotic selection, dosing and shortening duration. The effect of different antibiotics, dosing and duration on CRO development are explored. Available options for precision prescribing, gaps in the scientific evidence, and areas for future research are also presented.

“…In this issue of "Internal and Emergency Medicine" Erba et al [9] searched for all guidelines on pyelonephritis and systematic reviews assessing the optimal duration of antibiotic therapy in this type of infection and compared the recommendations of the three most cited and recent guidelines on the topic of interest [6][7][8].…”
