Overview

The goal of this prospective observational study is to collect epidemiological, clinical, microbiological, genetic, and behavioral data on individuals with UTIs. The goal is to better understand which interventions are effective and, subsequently, to facilitate studies that will improve our understanding of the condition, enhance patient care and relief, and help combat antimicrobial resistance. This project will enable us to study episodes of urinary tract infections over a period of at least 2 years and up to 5 years.
