Abstract
Most of the cases of Urinary tract infections land up first in a general practitioners office as the signs and symptoms are very plethoric. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) results in patient morbidity. The effectiveness of antimicrobial treatment in reducing UTI s is well established. But Studies have demonstrated wide variation in utilization of antimicrobial treatment, including inappropriate selection of agents, improper timing of administration, and excessive duration of treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and establish an antibiotic protocol for UTI’s in our hospital setting. We would be performing a culture analysis of urine to identify the presence of infection in the renal unit, which will guide us for antibiotic usage. Hence, we are trying to establish an antibiotic protocol for UTI without compromising on treatment, and to avoid excessive duration of antibiotic treatment
