What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common diseases in population while antibiotic resistant in UTI has become a critical problem in Hong Kong, that a large proportion of the bacteria in UTI resistant to commonly used anti-UTI antibiotic treatment. This is largely due to the empirical treatment (i.e. no bacteria information is available at the time of treatment) and overtreatment of antibiotics in the past decades. Some patients who did not actually have UTI were prescribed with antibiotics because they have symptoms similar to UTI. In order to avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics and therefore reduce the antibiotic resistance rates of UTI, we propose to apply a new urine sediment analyzer (UF-5000) in clinical practice for UTI which could provide quick label for potential bacteria in urine, and give more information on the possible species of the bacteria. UF-5000 is a ur
