Abstract

The safety and efficacy of transitioning from parenteral to oral antibiotics in patients aged less than 60 days with urinary tract infections were assessed. Patients who transitioned to oral therapy had a lower mean length of stay with no significant difference in medically attended urinary tract infection symptoms within 30 days of treatment.
