Faster test could improve antibiotic treatment for tough UTIs

NCT ID NCT06996301

Summary

This study compared two different lab tests used to diagnose complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adults. Researchers wanted to see if a newer, faster molecular test (PCR) could guide antibiotic treatment as effectively as the standard, slower urine culture test. The trial involved 773 adults across six US clinics who were randomly assigned to have their treatment guided by one test or the other.
