In this EAU Podcast episode, Dr. Giuseppe Magistro (DE), Prof. Gernot Bonkat (CH) and Ass. Prof. Kathrin Bausch (CH) discuss the latest updates in the 2026 EAU Guidelines on Urological Infections.

They explore the growing importance of antimicrobial stewardship, including new non-antibiotic approaches for the treatment and prevention of cystitis. The speakers also highlight updated recommendations favouring the transperineal approach for prostate biopsy, with increasing evidence supporting reduced antibiotic use.

In addition, they discuss the newly introduced chapter on fungal urinary tract infections and the importance of distinguishing asymptomatic funguria from clinically relevant infections.
