Background of the project

Antibiotic resistances are a global public health issue. Even among neighbouring countries like Germany and the Netherlands, noticeable differences exist, the causes of which are still largely unknown. Urinary tract infections are among the most common infectious diseases in primary care and one of the main reasons for the prescription of antibiotics. The TRACE-UTI project aims to investigate differences and similarity in the occurrence, diagnosis, and treatment of urinary tract infections in primary care. Special attention is given to urinary tract infections, as these are among the most common infectious diseases in primary care and one of the main reasons for prescribing antibiotics.
