This guideline provides recommendations based on current evidence for best practice in the management of adults with community acquired urinary tract infection. It includes adult women (including pregnant women) and men of all ages, patients with indwelling catheters and patients with comorbidities such as diabetes. It excludes children and patients with hospital acquired infection. The guideline does not address prophylaxis to prevent UTI after instrumentation or surgery, or treatment of recurrent UTI.
