This is already happening due to antimicrobial resistance. We need your help to stop it.
It will take action from us all to #KeepAntibioticsWorking

Friendly reminder to new trainees: ignore the "that urine smells like a UTI"
It's not part of the diagnostic criteria for UTI!
Urine can smell from dehydration, food, meds, etc
The "sniff test" for UTI:
- PPV 54% for bacteriuria
- PPV 28% for pyuria
