Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections in women, with about 50% of women experiencing at least one UTI in their lifetime. The main pharmacological treatments of cystitis usually involve the use of antibiotics, in particular quinolones (such as ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin), fosfomycin, second-generation and third-generation cephalosporins, and b-lactam antibiotics associated with b-lactamase inhibitors.
