  • The ROAB-study: De-implementation strategy to reduce overtreatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections for which antimicrobials are prescribed. In the event of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), antimicrobial prescriptions are not always necessary. The aim of this project is to reduce the overtreatment of ASB by using a multifaceted de-implementation strategy.
