"The Challenge of Treating Chronic Urinary Tract Infections"
Chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs) are difficult to treat due to bacteria's ability to form protective biofilms, making them resistant to standard antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern, prompting the need for advanced treatments such as vaccines, phage therapy, and probiotics. Current approaches involve targeted therapy, estrogen treatment for post-menopausal women, lifestyle changes, and thorough diagnostics. With ongoing research and a combination of current and potential treatments, there is hope for better management and prevention of chronic UTIs in the future.
