Using a test result to guide antibiotic choice for urinary infections
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific urine test result can help doctors safely avoid using strong, broad-spectrum antibiotics in patients with urinary tract infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use while still treating the infection effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and currently in the hospital or emergency department.
- Your urine test shows bacteria, and you have a fever (or low temperature).
- In the past 6 months, you had a sample that grew bacteria resistant to certain antibiotics (like cephalosporins).
- Your infection is not severe — you are not in septic shock.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have a known allergy to penicillin-type antibiotics.
- You are not currently taking certain strong antibiotics (like cephalosporins or carbapenems).

This trial tests a new way to check urine tests and prescribe antibiotics more carefully for adults with a suspected urinary tract infection (UTI). It aims to make sure you get the right treatment and avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
This study looks at new ways to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria in people with certain common infections. It may help by testing approaches tailored to the specific germs found in your urine, lungs, or deeper infections.
