The SOS AMS (Save Our Supply Antimicrobial Stewardship) podcast brings you brief evidence reviews on major infections that contribute significantly to antimicrobial use in clinical practice, all in under 30 minutes. We explore key topics like distinguishing infection from non-infectious mimickers, a microbiology and antibiotics primer, AECOPD, CAP, HAP, Cellulitis, UTIs, Intraabdominal infections, Sepsis NYD, and Bacteremia. Working through learning objectives, we review the pathophysiology of these conditions, best evidence in management, and apply principles learned to patient cases. Written by an ID AMS pharmacist, reviewed by ID AMS physicians, and co-hosted with an ER nurse, these podcasts bring a Canadian AMS perspective to commonly encountered infections.

This episode of the SOS AMS podcast focuses on the diagnosis, microbiology, and management of urinary tract infections, including cystitis, pyelonephritis, and catheter-associated UTIs. Our hosts also discuss the pressures in practice that lead to over-diagnosis of UTIs, a significant contributor to antibiotic resistance. They then end the podcast by applying the principles discussed to two patient cases, addressing common practice issues that arise when dealing with patients with suspected urinary tract infection. Relevant references can be accessed at the provided hyperlink, and we would encourage taking a read through the excellent 3 page article written by Dr. Tom Finucane of Johns Hopkins.
The learning objectives for this podcast are as follows:
Distinguish between asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), cystitis, pyelonephritis, and catheter associated UTI.
Discuss important considerations for optimal timing and interpretation of urine cultures.
Rationalize which pathogens are usually implicated in UTIs.
Discuss usual treatment and treatment duration for UTIs
