Sir,

We read with great interest the recent study of Ortega et al. regarding the epidemiology and outcome of bacteraemic catheter-acquired urinary tract infection (UTI)[1]. We congratulate the author for this

excellent work on this severe disease. We however think that prevention is an important topic to highlight especially in patients with recurrent UTIas population with neurogenic bladder. We evaluated an original prophylactic antibiotic regimen: the WOCA (Weekly Oral Cycling Antibiotic) program.It consists in the alternate weekly administration of an antibiotic to prevent UTI in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients.We studied the effectiveness of WOCA with long follow-up in spinal

UTI.

This was a cross-sectional single center study, conducted at Raymond Poincaréuniversity hospital.

Three infectious disease physicians reviewed all patients under WOCA regimen on appointment over 3 days.The WOCA study included SCI patients with neurogenic bladder and recurrent UTI: prior to WOCA, all patients had experienced > 4 UTIs per year. They were followed for at least 2 years. UTI was defined as:
