< 0.01). Across all studies, 63/13,804 (0.5%) cases of nephrotoxicity, vestibular toxicity, or injection site reaction were reported; no hearing loss was observed. Single-dose aminoglycoside therapy appears to be an effective treatment option for lower UTI in nonseptic patients, with minimal toxicity. Additional studies would be beneficial to confirm efficacy for pyelonephritis. When resistance to first-line UTI agents is endemic, aminoglycosides may serve as β-lactam- and fluoroquinolone-sparing options.
