Abstract

Urologists continue to use antibiotics inappropriately. We should rethink the reasons why certain attitudes exist about powerful drugs for prophylaxis and adjust our prescribing habits for therapy as well. Using catheters and urethral instrumentation sparingly and only when necessary, while employing proper infection control techniques and judicious antibiotic prophylaxis can control the nosocomial infections resulting from genitourinary surgery.
