Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases in women, and are the most frequent cause of infectious complications of pregnancy. This paper reviews current scientific and methodical literature on UTIs in obstetrics and gynecology. Aspects of clinical importance of UTIs (epidemiology, clinical manifestations, complications), their etiology, antimicrobial resistance of UTIs agents were discussed, and current recommendations on diagnostics and treatment of UTIs were summarized. Special attention was paid to UTIs in pregnancy.

Awareness of the subspecialty of infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology is low among United States residents and residency directors.Objective. Given the burden of infectious diseases on women's health, we sought to assess current awareness, interest, and perceived value of the subspecialty of infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology among current United States obstetrics and gynecology residents and residency directors.Methods. Two separate surveys addressing awareness, perceived value and interest in the subspecialty were sent to (1) a random20%sample of obstetrics and gynecology residents and (2) all obstetrics and gynecology residency directors.Results. Seventy percent of the residency directors were familiar with the subspecialty and67.0%placed value on infectious disease specialists in an academic department. Thirty percent of the residents reported awareness of the subspecialty. Thirty-six percent of residency directors reported that medical infectious disease specialists deliver formal education to the obstetrics and gynecology residents.Conclusion. United States obstetrics and gynecology residents and residency directors have a low awareness of the subspecialty. An open niche exists for formal education of residents in infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology by department specialists. These findings can be incorporated into ongoing recruitment efforts for the subspecialty of infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology.
