Cystitis is a condition where urinary tract bacterial infection is presented. Products recommended as first-line of treatment include amoxicillin, oral cephalosporin, trimethoprim or nitrofurantoin. Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibacterial agent whereas itraconazole is an antifungal agent.

As a result of the urethral catheter she had inserted in the intensive care unit, CM develops a urinary tract infection, with an E. coli that is resistant to trimethoprim and amoxicillin, but is sensitive to gentamicin. She is prescribed a dose of gentamicin, 7 mg/kg intravenously once daily for 5 days.

This may be found by routine urine testing of pregnant women or patients with known structural abnormalities of the urinary tract. Such infection may explain micturition frequency or incontinence in the elderly. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy should be given, chosen on the basis of susceptibility tests, and normally for 7-10 days. Amoxicillin or a cephalosporin is preferred in pregnancy, although nitrofurantoin may be used if imminent delivery is not likely (see below). 

Uncomplicated community-acquired urinary tract infection presents few problems with management. Drugs such as trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin and ampicillin are widely used. Cure rates are close to 100% for ciprofloxacin, about 80% for trimethoprim and about 50% for ampicillin—to which resistance has been steadily increasing. Treatment for 3 days is generally satisfactory and is usually accompanied by prompt control of symptoms. Single-dose therapy with amoxicillin 3 g has also been shown to be effective in selected individuals. Alternative agents include nitrofurantoin, nalidixic acid and norfloxacin, although these are not as well tolerated. Oral cephalosporins and co-amoxiclav are also used. 

For all APIs on the EML, it is imperative to consider not only the physical, chemical and absorption properties of the API when evaluating them for biowaiver, but (as outlined in the Multisource document ) to perform a benefit-risk analysis in view of the products usage at the national level. As an example, in some countries amoxicillin is used primarily for the treatment of ambulatory patients with mild-to-moderate infections of the upper respiratory tract, urinary tract and other sites. In other countries, amoxicillin might also be used to treat severe or even life-threatening infections, in which case the risk to the patient of arriving at the wrong bioequivalence decision would be far greater. 

Penicillins Ampicillin Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid Carbenicillin indanyl Ampicillin is the standard penicillin that has broad-spectrum activity. Increasing Escherichia coli resistance has limited amoxicillin use in acute cystitis. Drug of choice for enterococci sensitive to penicillin. Amoxicillin-clavulanate is preferred for resistance problems. Carbenicillin indanyl is only indicated for the treatment of urinary tract infections.
