Single Dose Aminoglycosides for Acute Uncomplicated Cystitis in the Emergency Department Setting

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if gentamicin is as effective treatment of acute uncomplicated cystitis (urinary tract infection) using aminoglycosides versus the current standards of care. The current standards of care in our region are often to prescribe a multi-day antibiotic prescription that is taken multiple times per day whereas gentamicin will be a one-time dose in the emergency department. Gentamicin is the medicine being studied.
