Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections globally, notably impacting patient quality of life and posing substantial clinical and economic challenges. In this third WikiGuidelines consensus statement, we provide an evidence-based approach to UTI management developed by a global network of experts for practical use across diverse clinical settings. This guideline fills a critical gap by providing pragmatic, broadly applicable recommendations tailored for generalist care and systems-based practice. Our guidance is rooted in the best available evidence and is designed for clinicians from various backgrounds and health care environments. It emphasizes a patient-centered approach to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of UTIs and related genitourinary infections.
