Video

Panelists discuss how American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines for recurrent uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women recommend culture-confirmed diagnosis, prophylactic antibiotics, nonantibiotic prevention, self-initiated treatment, and behavioral modifications while noting pivmecillinam’s recent FDA approval. Pivmecillinam features a penicillin-binding protein 2 inhibition mechanism with 85% to 95% efficacy against gram-negative uropathogens, including extended-spectrum β-lactamase producers; minimal intestinal flora disruption; low resistance rates; and primarily mild gastrointestinal adverse effects.
