Hi Nicole,

No, not in Australia. The current antibiotic therapeutic guidelines says:

*Do not* perform post-treatment urine culture to confirm resolution of
infection for asymptomatic nonpregnant women
And for men:
*Do not* perform post-treatment urine culture to confirm resolution of
infection for asymptomatic men with acute cystitis

Im not sure if thats helpful – apologies if you were already aware of
this guidance.

Kind regards,

Sarah Lynar
