Piperacillin/tazobactam (P/T) rarely causes interstitial nephritis. The results of retrospective cohort studies in children predominantly show a low, clinically irrelevant, additive nephrotoxicity (defined as an increase in creatinine in the serum) of both substances.

Local guidelines, developed in collaboration with the antibiotic stewardship team, should define the indications for empirical and targeted use of P/T and V+P/T.

A total of 182 children with a fUTI were enrolled in our retrospective study. 84,07% of these fUTIs were caused by pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli).
