Predictive value of antimicrobial susceptibility from previous urinary tract infection in the treatment of re-infection
Vellinga, Akke; Cormican, Martin; Hanahoe, Belinda; Murphy, Andrew W (Royal College of General Practitioners, 2010-07-01)Recurrent urinary tract infections are often re-infections; therefore, antimicrobial susceptibility test results from a previous episode may guide the empiric therapy in subsequent episbdes. This analysis provides predictive ... -
