The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of AB treatment on antibiotic resistance among women with rUTIs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods. \u2003The study population consisted of 2 groups of women who had previously been enrolled in a randomized clinical trial: group A was not treated, and group B was treated. All women were scheduled for follow-up visits every 6 months, or more frequently if symptoms arose. Microbiological evaluation was performed only in symptomatic women. All women were followed up for a mean of 38.8 months to analyze data from urine cultures and antibiograms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results. \u2003The previous study population consisted of 673 women, but 123 did not attend the entire follow-up period. For the final analysis, 257 of the remaining 550 patients were assigned to group A, and 293 to group B. At the end of follow-up, the difference in recurrence rates was statistically significant (P &amp;lt; .001): 97 (37.7%) in group A versus 204 (69.6%) in group B. Isolated Escherichia coli from group B showed higher resistance to amoxicillin\u2013clavulanic acid (P = .03), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (P = .01), and ciprofloxacin (P = .03) than that from group A.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions. \u2003This study shows that AB treatment is associated with a higher occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, indicating that AB treatment in women with rUTIs is potentially dangerous.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/civ696","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,12]],"date-time":"2015-08-12T23:14:31Z","timestamp":1439421271000},"page":"1655-1661","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":104,"title":["Asymptomatic
