Summary

This retrospective study is to determine if the use of PCR for detection and identification of pathogens in UTI along with antimicrobial susceptibility information, affords more efficacious treatment of UTI, as compared to traditional urine culture for patients served by House Call Physicians.

Detailed description

The objective of this study is to determine if retrospective data will show that use of PCR for detection and identification of pathogens in UTI, and antimicrobial susceptibility information, affords more efficacious treatment of UTI, thereby reducing UTI-related morbidity and costs in a patient population that is served by House Call Physicians. House call physicians attend elderly and other adults patients who are suffering from illness or chronic conditions in the safety, privacy, and comfort of their home or assisted living location. In making house calls, physicians ease the burden and difficulty of these chronic patients from traveling to the doctor's office.
