1 Antibiotic treatment failure in four common infections in UK primary care : longitudinal analysis Craig J Currie BMJ 2014;349:g September 2014 More than one in 10 initial antibiotic monotherapies for upper and lower respiratory tract skin and soft tissue infections were associated with failure over a 22 year period in UK primary care Overall antibiotic treatment failure rates increased from 1991 to 2012 by more than 10%, Treatment failure rates increased in some notable cases, especially when the antibiotic selected was not considered first choice for the indications studied

33 Poor adherence to national guidelines Co-amoxyclav 33% Trimethoprim 26% Fluroquinolones 17% In this study high h local l resistance levels l to trimethoprim caution as first line but nitrofurantoin t i would have been appropriate for most positive urines, cheaper and less potential for developing resistance than ciproxin

34 KEY MESSAGES Residents in long term care facilities have high rates of abnormal dipstick and urine test results WITHOUT infection necessarily being present. Antibiotic therapy in these cases does not reduce mortality or prevent symptomatic episodes, rather it increases side effects and leads to antibiotic resistance. DO NOT ROUTINELY USE ANTIBIOTIC PROPHYLAXIS TO PREVENT URINARY TRACT INFECTION
