Nature Reviews Urology, Published online: 25 August 2020; doi:10.1038/s41585-020-0362-4Complicated UTI (cUTI) incidence and the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among uropathogens are increasing. Here, the authors discuss different cUTI classification systems, describe current understanding of the aetiology of cUTIs and outline clinical studies of novel antibiotics in patients with cUTIs or pyelonephritis and the use of UTI as a model for other infection types in clinical studies.
