Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the second most common bacterial infection in children and is considered a public health threat given the mounting rates of antibiotic-resistance among uropathogens. This article highlights recent encouraging developments in UTI research. Further work is necessary to translate the discoveries into accessible, cost-effective technologies that will aid clinicians in real-time decision-making.
尿路感染(UTI)是儿童中第二常见的细菌感染,鉴于尿路病原体中抗生素耐药率不断上升,它被视为一种公共卫生威胁。本文重点介绍了尿路感染研究中近期令人鼓舞的进展。有必要进一步开展工作,将这些发现转化为易于获取、具有成本效益的技术,以帮助临床医生进行实时决策。
