Summary
This trial is testing if a new urine test is more accurate than the current one.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18 to 80 with a urinary tract infection (UTI) that's hard to detect using standard tests. They must be able to consent, follow the study schedule, and have low levels of bacteria in their urine. It's not for those who use catheters, can't give a clean urine sample, are pregnant or trying to conceive, incarcerated, or took antibiotics recently.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how well advanced DNA techniques like PCR and Next Generation Sequencing can identify UTI-causing bacteria compared to traditional methods. These new tests could be more sensitive for detecting low-level infections in patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves diagnostic procedures rather than medications or treatments directly administered to participants, there may not be direct side effects from the interventions being studied.
