| Core Tip |
Differentiating true pathogens from colonizers or contaminants in urinary cultures remains a major challenge in clinical practice. This study presents a novel, stepwise model to assess the true pathogenicity of urinary isolates in hospitalized adults. The model identified nearly 10% of culture-positive cases—previously treated as infections—as non-pathogenic. This approach is safe, feasible, and potentially reduces unnecessary antibiotic use, especially in resource-limited settings. |
