"The thoughtless person playing with
penicillin treatment is morally
responsible for the death of the man
who succumbs to infection with the
penicillin-resistant organism.”
Sir Alexander
Fleming
Nobel prize winner
for the discovery of
penicillin, 1945
3
Core competencies for
antimicrobial prescribing
C1: Understands the patient and the patient’s clinical needs
C2: Understands treatment options and how they support the
patient’s clinical needs
C3: Worksin partnership with the patient and other healthcare
professionals to develop and implement a treatment plan
C4: Communicates the treatment plan and its rationale clearly to
the patient and other health professionals
C5: Monitors and reviews the patient’s response to treatment
4
Core Competencies
Objectives
• Understand the frequent occurrence and implications of
contaminated urine cultures and of asymptomatic bacteriuria
• Illustrate the complexity of using urinalysis and urine culture to
support the diagnosis of urinary tract infections
• Demonstrate the use of local evidence-based guidelines based
upon local antimicrobialresistance data in managing urinary tract
infections
5
Positive urine cultures could be due to:
Contaminated culture
Asymptomatic bacteriuria
Urinary tract infection (UTI)
6

Antibiotics commonly inappropriately
prescribed for asymptomatic bacteriuria

45 year-old female with:
a positive urine culture 3 weeks ago
urine culture performed because of
dysuria & urinary frequency
now asymptomatic
normal physical exam
11
Clinical case 1
12
Should she submit
another sample for
urine culture?
WHO/O. Karatuna
Obtain urine culture only when you
suspect UTI
• Contaminated urine
cultures and
asymptomatic
bacteriuria (ASB) are
common
13
WHO/O. Karatuna
Urinalysis interpretation
• high numbers of
squamous epithelial cells
suggests specimen
contamination
• absence of pyuria
provides reassurance
against a UTI
14
WHO/O. Karatuna
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB)
• Limited indications for ASB treatment
– Pregnancy
– Invasive urologic procedure
• Test of cure cultures should NOT be performed
15
Clinical case 1
16
Should she submit
another sample for
urine culture?
WHO/O. Karatuna
Review the microbiologic data
• The presence of 3
organisms suggests a
contaminated
specimen.
• Was it necessary?
17
WHO/O. Karatuna
Clinical case 1
Should she submit another sample for urine culture?
• She is asymptomatic.
• No indication for culture.
• Provide patient education
NO!
