Abstract
Most recurrences of urinary infection are not relapses but new infections with different organisms. The perineum, urethra and bladder are likely sources. Urine culture usually is not needed for a first bout of bacteriuria but is essential in chronic, relapsing or recurrent infection. Adequate follow-up is a key factor in successful management of any urinary tract infection.
