Description
Lourdes Martinez-Berganza Asensio and co-authors test whether a rapid urine test changes how doctors in Spanish primary care prescribe drugs for urinary infections, in a 2026 study. The device reports within the visit which drugs the germs resist. Women with simple infections were split into groups by an ID number rule.
With test results in hand, doctors found resistance to the usual first drug in about one fifth of confirmed cases. Prescribing shifted away from that drug toward two others, and its use fell sharply compared with the control group. The authors say the device could support better drug stewardship by guiding the right choice at the first visit.
