Is There Adequate Evidence for Intracellular Bacteria Being a Significant Cause of rUTIs and Thereby Justifying Targeted Treatments Such as Bladder Fulguration or Intravesical Therapies? ICI‐RS 2025
Although the use of targeted treatments is becoming more widespread the evidence base is currently insufficient for strong guideline recommendation. This must be balanced against the significant need for second-line treatments when current guideline recommended treatments are unsuccessful, particularly in the design of clinical pathways for patients with refractory recurrent UTIs.
