Urinary Tract Infection Bacterial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cleaning of the urethra, or external opening to the bladder, with sterile water (water that has been treated to remove bacteria and living organisms) vs Betadine also known as Povidone-Iodine (a medical grade cleaning solution) changes the rates of bacteria in the urine after a temporary catheter, or draining tube, is placed into the bladder. Chemical antiseptics, including Betadine, are the current standard of care. An additional goal of this study is to determine whether cleaning of the urethra, or external opening to the bladder, with sterile water vs betadine changes the amount of discomfort or pain patients experience with placement of a temporary catheter, or draining tube, in the bladder.

The main objective of the study is to demonstrate that not performing a systematic UC before the TURB procedure is non-inferior to performing a systematic UC in terms of the incidence of febrile UTIs during the first 30 postoperative days

GNB5 is an investigator-initiated multicentre non-inferiority randomized controlled trial which aims to assess the efficacy and safety of shortened antibiotic for patients hospitalized with a Gram negative bacteremia with a urinary tract source of infection (GNB). Five days after initiation of antimicrobial therapy for GNB, participants are randomized 1:1 to parallel treatment arms: 5 days (intervention) or minimum 7 days (control) of antibiotic treatment. The intervention group discontinues antibiotics at day 5 if clinically stable and afebrile. The control group receives antibiotics for a duration of 7 days or longer at the discretion of the treating physician. The primary outcome is 90-day survival without clinical or microbiological failure to treatment, which will be tested with a non inferiority margin of 10%.
