Hospital-acquired urinary tract infections, which account for approximately 40 percent of all nosocomial infections, often result in serious complications and ultimately lead to rising hospital costs. To combat the high incidence of nosocomial urinary tract infections, surveillance and control programs must be developed and carefully maintained by hospitals. When urinary tract infections cannot be prevented, empiric therapy with broad-spectrum antibiotics effective against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria should begin immediately.
医院获得性尿路感染约占所有医院感染的40%，常常导致严重并发症并最终致使医院成本上升。为应对医院获得性尿路感染的高发病率，医院必须制定并认真维持监测和控制计划。当无法预防尿路感染时，应立即开始使用对产β-内酰胺酶细菌有效的广谱抗生素进行经验性治疗。
