Study Summary
This project is the clinical project of a Specialized Center of Research (SCOR) proposal which is designed to further our understanding of urinary tract infection (UTI) in women. Acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur in an estimated 7-11 million women each year, and the annual costs of caring for these women are thought to approach $1.6 billion. Approximately 20-30% of women suffer from frequent recurrent infections. UTIs in young women result in substantial symptoms, time lost from work, and medical costs. An improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying UTIs could result in new approaches to their prevention and reduced numbers of women with infections and the amount of antibiotics use. In this project we seek a better understanding of the causes of UTI. Most experts believe that vaginal colonization with UTI-causing bacteria from the rectal flora precedes colonization of the urethra (the tube from the bladder for urination) and bladder and subsequent UTI, but the relationships between these events has not been established. Moreover, recent information from studies in mice strongly suggest that persistent bladder infection follows an initial bladder infection. In this project, we will prospectively follow a large group of women with recurrent UTI to determine: 1) the relationships in time between vaginal colonization with a UTI-causing bacteriuria, asymptomatic bacteriuria (bacteria in the bladder but without any UTI symptoms) and symptomatic UTI, and 2) the presence of persistent bacteria in the bladder following the symptomatic UTI at entry into the study and whether such bacteria are related to later UTIs that are caused by the same bacteria that caused the UTI at entry into the study. We will thus be able to determine the relative importance of vaginal colonization vs. persistent infection of the bladder as the origin of the bacteria causing recurrent UTI. UTI-causing bacteria cultured from women with symptomatic UTI and asymptomat
