Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is a condition in which bacteria are detected in urine culture without urinary symptoms. The inappropriate use of antibiotic treatment for AB selects bacterial flora to express resistance mutations. Reducing inappropriate antibiotic use for AB is difficult, since the microbiology laboratory cannot distinguish patients with AB. The investigators study will use a restricted laboratory report requesting the physician to call the laboratory for culture results. The restricted report may reduce the rate of inappropriate treatment of AB.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Positive urine cultures during the study period will be randomized to restricted microbiology laboratory reporting or standard microbiology laboratory reporting. Physician or patient consent will not be collected. Patient records will be assessed by the investigator to determine if patients have AB or urinary tract infection. Physician antibiotic treatment decision in both groups will be collected.

Restricted Reporting

Microbiology laboratory will report "Positive urine cultures may represent asymptomatic bacteriuria or urinary tract infection. If urinary tract infection is suspected clinically, please call 777-xxxx (researcher mobile phone) for identification and susceptibility results"

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Restricted Reporting

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

An abbreviated version of the microbiology report indicating that growth is present and the physician should call the lab for further details if clinically important

Standard Reporting

Microbiology laboratory will report identification and susceptibility results
