Relevance:

Being such a common clinical condition, it is not enough to achieve identification and treatment, but it is mandatory for health personnel to be aware of the conditions that require special care and timely treatments. In cases where it can be handled more specifically, it should be very reasonable with antibiotic treatments to avoid antimicrobial resistance.

Conclusions:

The UTIS has high costs dedicated to initial management and complications. The new diagnostic methods will be of vital importance in their management, as they can offer therapies directed to the pathogen in a more timely manner and avoid the antimicrobial resistance that is one of the great conflicts today. The new medications may offer more accurate management in cases of multiple antimicrobial resistance.
