Urological infections are increasingly posing threats to our patients, both in the outpatient and in the hospitalized setting. We have to consider that infections always are potentially communicable, and so is antimicrobial resistance. This makes infections in urology special and different from all other urological diseases. An antibiotic that is given to a patient with a urinary catheter and asymptomatic bacteriuria, which is not indicated, may induce emergence of resistance in this patient’s microbiome. The antibiotic might not necessarily have a negative impact on this patient, but the resistant bacterium could be transmitted to an immunosuppressed patient who has undergone a renal transplant, and induce a life threatening infection. Therefore, urologists always have a responsibility towards the patient as well as the environment, when managing infections. …
