Postgrad Med. 2006 Jun-Jul;119(1):39-45. doi: 10.3810/pgm.2006.06.1639.

Abstract

UTI continues to be a common problem for otherwise healthy adult women. Treatment of UTI has become more difficult because of the rising levels of resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Further research is needed to develop new antibiotic therapies and nonantibiotic prevention measures.
