International guidelines recommend using local susceptibility data to direct empiric therapy for acute uncomplicated cystitis.

Nitrofurantoin had the lowest resistance prevalence whereas trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and fluoroquinolones had higher prevalences. This study highlights the need for local outpatient antimicrobial stewardship programs.
