Antibiotics by mouth only for young babies with urine infection
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics by mouth alone is enough to treat a urinary tract infection (UTI) in very young babies. It may help reduce the need for stronger or more invasive antibiotic approaches if you meet the study’s stability and urine-test requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 4 weeks and 2 months old (or corrected age if born early)
- Have a clinician’s suspicion of a UTI, even if you don’t have fever
- Be medically stable (not very ill or showing signs of severe infection in the blood, brain, or lungs)
- If no antibiotic was given yet, you can still join if urine culture is positive using specific testing methods
- Not have certain exclusions such as past UTIs, kidney/urine tract birth problems, recent hospital antibiotics, or being unable to take medicine by mouth

This study looks at possible effects on a child’s digestive system after standard antibiotics are used to treat a fever-related urinary tract infection (UTI). It may help doctors better understand what side effects to expect and how to manage them.
This trial studies a new way to help stop urinary tract infections (UTIs) from coming back by using “bacterial interference” (changing the bacteria in the urinary system). It may help people who have had UTIs keep returning despite past treatments.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics through a vein for 3 days works as well as giving 3 days through a vein followed by 7 days by mouth for a first urinary tract infection (kidney infection). It may help your child recover safely while possibly reducing longer IV treatment.
This trial studies whether giving just one dose of an intravenous (IV) antibiotic can safely treat complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. It aims to see if this shorter approach works as well as standard treatment while still preventing complications.
This study tests whether shorter courses of antibiotics are as effective as longer ones for children hospitalized with pneumonia, skin infections, or urinary tract infections. It may help children get back to normal faster and reduce side effects.
This study tests a new antibiotic for children with difficult-to-treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). The medicine is given through an IV and may help when other antibiotics haven't worked.
