Antibiotics are very often prescribed for the indication urinary
tract infections (UTIs). Therefore, UTIs are an important field for
the development of antibiotic resistance. A number of new
antibiotics have been tested for the indication complicated UTI /
pyelonephritis. These are cephalosporins and carbapenems, in
combination with new beta-lactamase inhibitors, cefiderocol as a
new type of cephalosporin, plazomicin a new aminoglycoside,
eravacycline a new tetracycline, and intravenous fosfomycin. Not
all antibiotics are approved in Europe. Although the development
of these new substances is promising, these new antibiotics should
be used very carefully to avoid the development of new antibiotic
resistance against these new substances.
