Core Tip The European Association of Urology guidelines 2025 for urinary infections (UIs) published new classification describing localized and systemic UIs. Patient’s Symptoms, clinical examinations, laboratory, and imaging investigation are required to set up the diagnosis. Localized UIs could be treated on an ambulatory basis, while systemic infection indicates hospitalization and monitoring. Urine culture would not reveal all bacterial community in urine. Second generation sequencing reveals bacterial community including dysbiosis and helper microbiota. Implementing the new guidelines would lead to personalized medicine, minimizing antibiotics use, avoid antibiotic resistance, and considering probiotics in treatment of localized infections.
