Abstract:
Urinary tract infections are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide. The management has become a public health concern of socioeconomic importance. Every second woman will experience at least one episode in her lifetime. Due to the emergence of multiresistant pathogens and the developmental void, treatment has become more challenging over the years. Deciphering the complex molecular interaction between host and pathogen is necessary to identify potent treatment targets for future approaches. The objective of this review is to present novel aspects on the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections and its relevance for clinical practice.
