´Urinary tract infections (UTI) refer to infections that affect the urinary tract.

´UTIs affect kidneys, bladder, urethra and ureters and often, the infections affect the lower urinary tract.

´Women are generally at-risk of UTI, unlike men.

´Studies show that women the bacteria causing UTI is increasingly becoming resistant to antibiotics.

´This, therefore, implies that continued usage of antibiotics, especially for women who have had recurrent UTI might not be effective in managing the infection.
