Abstract
The article presents an overview of current literature on the etiology and pathogenesis, key aspects of diagnosis and treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections. Clinical recommendations should contribute to more adequate prescription of antibiotics to patients with urinary tract infections. The preference should be given to antibiotics with lower risks associated with resistance increase. Fluoroquinolones and other broad-spectrum antibiotics should be kept in mind as second-line therapy. It is also recommended to minimize prophylactic use of antibiotics in patients with recurrent urinary tract infections, possibly eliminate the existing risk factors for relapse and continue the search for alternative methods of treatment and prevention of urinary tract infections.
