This manuscript is a Delphi survey of experts that showed interest on some debated points on rUTIs, AB in pregnancy, and prevention of CAUTI. There is still little data on nonantibiotic prevention of UTIs and CAUTI; quite old studies have been reported on AB in pregnancy. The emerging problem of antibiotic resistance is relevant and nonantibiotic prophylaxis may play a role in its prevention.
