73/f found to have chronic grp b strep in urine > 1000, 000 cfu/ml . she is asymptomatic. does she need antibiotic rx?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Current recommendations states that it shouldn't be treated, but everything depends on the patient. It's a very common condition (20% of general population, 30% in nursing home patients) treatment with antibiotics not recommended due to side effects, selection of antibiotic resistant bacteria, etc.
