Abstract

The urodynamic study, like any invasive diagnostic or therapeutic procedure performed at the genitourinary level can lead to the development of urinary tract infection or bacteriuria, so it is recommended antibiotic prophylaxis. The growing resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents is recognized worldwide as a serious threat to public health. It is therefore essential to take all possible measures to prevent infections associated with these procedures, as well as measures to prevent increased antimicrobial resistance. The various literature reviews on this topic were analyzed, as well as the European Association of Urology guidelines for urological infections, the American Urological Association best practice guide, and revisions made related to the pediatric population. From the literature analyzed, recommendations are made for prophylaxis of urinary tract infection and / or bacteriuria associated with urodynamic study in both adults and the pediatric population.
