摘要: Positive urinary tract culture results often represent asymptomatic bacteriuria, which does not need to be treated with antimicrobial agents. Avoiding treatment of bacteriuria in adults should reduce the risk development antibiotic resistance and is consistent Infectious Diseases Society America US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines on bacteriuria. A similar approach for treating upper respiratory illnesses antibiotics was initiated by Centers Disease Control Prevention. We propose that a hospital ambulatory performance measure developed adults. In addition, such an effort would aid hospitals confronting proposal Medicare Medicaid (to implemented 2009) pay expenses associated catheter-associated infection.
