Frail elderly are frequently diagnosed with urinary tract infection (UTI) and half of the antibiotics (AB) used in this population are for UTI. However, a substantial part of these AB might not be necessary, because presenting signs and symptoms are erroneously ascribed to a UTI. Antibiotic stewardship interventions are much needed and the proposed project aim to reduce AB overuse for UTI in frail elderly.
