title: [Anti-infectious treatments in urology: general remarks].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To define the general use of anti-infectious treatments in urology.
  
  
  METHODS
  A review of national guidelines and articles published on the subject in the Medline database, selected by keywords, depending on the scientific relevance was performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  While the epidemiology clearly shows the non-reduction of the anti-infectious treatments use in France, the resistance increases to highlight foo-resistant germs. Urology is not an exception to this observation, and different means are set to improve the prescription made by urologists.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The epidemiological observation confirms the urgent need to improve the prescription of anti-infectious treatments particularly in urology.
