First seen Dec 10, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a fast urine test for certain bacterial genes (integrons) could help doctors choose a more targeted antibiotic for children with urinary tract infections (UTIs), instead of using a broad-spectrum one. The goal was to see if this approach works as well as standard care while reducing the use of strong antibiotics. The study was stopped early and included 36 children aged 3 months to 18 years with a first-time feverish UTI.
