Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first edition of the Special Issue on “Urinary Tract Infections and Antibiotic Intervention”, published in 2023, is a successful collection of seven excellent papers and, as such, has encouraged us to open a second edition covering the same topic.
As a continuation of the first Special Issue, this second edition aims to increase our understanding of the urinary microbiome and its relationship with different disease conditions, clarifying the treatment indications for UTIs with different symptom levels, antibiotic overuse and its detrimental effects, superbugs, and antibiotic stewardship in UTIs.
The topics may include but are not limited to the following:
- urinary tract infections (UTIs);
- antibiotic use;
- urinary microbiome;
- urinary sepsis;
- next-generation sequencing and urine culture.
