Discordance between antibiotic therapy and recurrent urinary tract infections in young children with third-generation cephalosporin-resistant infections

Reviewing susceptibility on day 5 and switching to an active oral agent may reduce recurrence and limit unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic exposure.
