Urinary tract infections in children. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are among the most common bacterial infections in childhood. They are equally common in boys and girls during the first year of life and become more common in girls after the first year of life. Dividing UTIs into three categories; febrile upper UTI (acute pyelonephritis), lower UTI (cystitis), and asymptomatic bacteriuria, is useful for numerous reasons, mainly because it helps to understand the pathophysiology (...) of the infection. A single episode of febrile UTI is often caused by a virulent Escherichia coli strain, whereas recurrent infections and asymptomatic bacteriuria commonly result from urinary tract malformations or bladder disturbances. Treatment of an upper UTI needs to be broad and last for 10 days, a lower UTI only needs to be treated for 3 days, often with a narrow-spectrum antibiotic, and asymptomatic bacteriuria is best left untreated. Investigations of atypical and recurrent episodes of febrile UTI

Patient involvement in clinical trials: motivation and expectations differ between patients and researchers involved in a trial on urinary tract infections. Patients should be involved in the design, conduct and dissemination of research that affects them. Patient involvement leads to empowerment and enhances the quality of research. Differing motives and expectations between researchers and patients involved can hamper involvement. We wanted to learn more about patients' and researchers (...) ' motives and expectations in order to improve the benefits of involvement for all parties. We implemented a patient board with ten patients and five researchers for a trial on urinary tract infections (UTIs). We asked each patient and researcher about his or her motivation and expectations regarding the patient board. We found that patients' motivations included the wish to improve the treatment of UTIs, to support patient involvement as a principle, and to enhance the benefit of others. Furthermore

Vaccine Development for Urinary Tract Infections: Where Do We Stand? Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections. Its management has become increasingly challenging due to antimicrobial resistance. The four mainstays to tackle this crisis rely on the development of new antibiotic agents, the introduction of preventive and alternative antimicrobial strategies, the concept of antimicrobial stewardship, and effective hygiene measures. One of the most effective (...) approaches to prevent UTIs is the design of a potent vaccine. OM-89 is a lyophilised preparation of membrane proteins from 18 different uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains. The safety and efficacy of this immunoactive agent is well documented; therefore, it is recommended for the prophylaxis of UTI according to the current European Association of Urology guidelines on urological infections. In terms of a true vaccine designed to target specifically pathogenic bacteria, no substance is currently
