These studies suggest that urinary tract infections can be treated with antibiotics, short-course or single-dose therapies, and continuous low-dose prophylaxis, while alternative remedies, novel compounds, and vaccines are emerging as potential treatments.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections that affect millions of people worldwide, leading to significant morbidity and healthcare costs. The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has necessitated the exploration of alternative treatment strategies. This synthesis aims to provide an overview of current and emerging treatments for UTIs based on recent research findings.

Challenges and Future Directions:
The treatment of UTIs involves a combination of short-course and tailored antibiotic therapies, especially for uncomplicated and complicated cases, respectively. Emerging non-antibiotic treatments, such as bacteriophage therapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine, offer promising alternatives but require further validation. Preventive strategies, including low-dose antibiotic prophylaxis and probiotics, are effective in reducing recurrence. The ongoing challenge of antibiotic resistance underscores the need for continued research into novel therapeutic approaches.
