Studies Show Continued Efficacy of New UTI Vaccine
May 04 2024 - 4:00PM
Abstracts being presented at the American Urological Association's
Annual Meeting discuss a new urinary tract infection (UTI)
treatment as well as the UTI implications of weight management
drugs.
Researchers will present their study findings covering important
updates on UTI in San Antonio, Texas, from May 3 to 6. Wai Lee, MD,
assistant professor of urology and director of Female Pelvic
Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at Northwell Health in Long
Island, NY, moderated a virtual press session with the abstract
authors, providing key insights into their research.
“Fifty percent of women develop a urinary tract infection in
their lifetime and a quarter will experience recurrent infections.
Treating this can be challenging for the patient and for
providers,” said Dr. Lee. “We’re excited to look at a longevity
study on a new vaccination for UTI as well as research on the
potential UTI risks of a popular weight management drug that can
alter the body’s metabolism and the amount of sugar in the urinary
tract.”
The following abstracts are covered in the moderated panel:
- Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of Uromune® Bacterial
Vaccine over a 9-Year Period in the UK: A Study on Managing
Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Men and Women in the Initial
Cohort
- Semaglutide Utilization in Weight Management and its
Implications for Urinary Tract Infections and Urolithiasis
