The Vaginal Microbiome and Recurrent and Chronic Urinary Tract Infection
This review highlights the link between disrupted vaginal ecology and recurrent and chronic UTI, and the need for expanded research into microbiome-targeted treatments. A paucity of studies researching recurrent and chronic UTI cohorts limits the evidence base for clinical generalisation, meaning that more focussed studies are needed to improve understanding and clinical management.
