Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
What is on the horizon?
New drugs that are effective at treating resistant bacterial infections are a hot area of research and are continuously being studied in clinical trials. Another focus is improving existing drugs or modifying drug regimens in hopes of battling resistant bacteria. Also in development is a vaccine for women who suffer from recurrent UTIs. In addition, because many women with recurrent UTIs lack the normal protective bacterium Lactobacillus in the urinary tract, researchers are currently testing whether restoration of Lactobacillus will reduce the occurence of UTIs in these women.
