Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and burdensome in women. This Clinical Expert Series discusses the challenges with the current models of care and how evolving insights into the female urogenital microbiome have advanced the understanding of how to diagnose, treat, and prevent recurrent UTIs in non-pregnant adult women. Updated treatment approaches emphasize antimicrobial stewardship, advocating for confirmation of the diagnosis and delayed antibiotic initiation when safe, and judicious use of antibiotics for symptom relief. Prevention strategies highlight the importance of vaginal estrogen, methenamine salts, and other supplements rather than exclusive reliance on prophylactic antibiotics. Ongoing research into emerging therapies such as UTI vaccines and bacteriophage drugs may further decrease our reliance on antibiotics in the future. This clinical update underscores the need for individualized care plans that balance effective infection management while minimizing antibiotic-related harms, emphasizing a holistic,
microbiome-centered approach to recurrent UTI prevention and treatment.
