摘要

Antibiotic resistance challenges nurse practitioners' treatment of simple outpatient urinary tract infections in young females who present with genitourinary symptoms. Prescribing antibiotics is complicated by the emergence of resistant gram-negative urinary tract pathogens. An antibiogram aids nurse practitioners in determining prescribing information based on local resistance patterns, and a clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for prescribing antibiotics. Prescribing based on resistance patterns improves the chances of the initial antibiotic treatment to cure and mitigates antibiotic resistance.
