Abstract

Chemotherapeutics are the basic drugs recommended for treatment of lower urinary tract infections and prophylaxis of urinary tract infections. Data both from Polish and international surveys indicate still high susceptibility of E. coli to nitrofurantoin and furasidine. The possibility of using the drug in a liquid form allows the drug to be used even in young children and to precisely adjust the dose to body weight.
