Summary

2019 IDSA update on management of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), defined as ≥10⁵ CFU/mL in urine without UTI symptoms. Updates the 2005 guideline and adds new populations (children, solid organ transplant, neutropenia, nonurologic surgery) plus guidance on interpreting nonlocalizing symptoms (delirium, falls) in older adults. Core message: do NOT screen or treat ASB except in pregnancy and before endoscopic urologic procedures involving mucosal trauma; emphasis on antimicrobial stewardship.
