Daily and Weekly Urine Variations in Bacterial Growth Susceptibility in Postmenopausal Women With no History of Urinary Tract Infection: A Pilot Study.

Objective: To evaluate bacterial growth in the bladder as a major virulence factor during urinary tract infections (UTIs), we assessed the variability of uropathogenic bacterial growth in urine samples over multiple timepoints from 3 postmenopausal women with no history of UTI.

Methods: Following IRB approval, postmenopausal women who never had a UTI provided mid-stream urine samples 3 times daily (8 a.m.

In-Depth Analysis of Diet Diary and Urine pH Measurements Improved Food Diet Reporting in Postmenopausal Women with RUTI.

Introduction: We proceeded with an in-depth review of diet diaries for nutrient analysis from a cohort of women suffering from uncomplicated recurrent urinary tract infection (RUTI) to validate the accuracy of our current food diet record (FDR) form and evaluate possible domains of improvement.

Materials And Methods: As part of an IRB-approved study, this previously published cohort of NHANES-comparable women was analyzed for consistency of the nutrient intake over 3 days, the influence of the time between meals and urine pH, the effect of nutrient intake over interval time between meals, and seasonal and before/during the COVID-19 pandemic changes. Intrarater reliability for nutrient analysis and intrapatient variability for urine pH were computed to test for consistency.

Does Urinary pH and Diet Influence the Rate of Urinary Tract Infection Recurrence After Electrofulguration in Women With Antibiotic-Recalcitrant Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections?

Objectives: To assess if urine acidity may be preventative against urinary tract infection (UTIs) and affected by diet. Our goal was to evaluate the effect of urine pH on the rate of recurrent UTIs (RUTIs) after electrofulguration (EF) in 3 groups of women with different urine pH ranges as well as the relation between their diet composition and urine pH.

Methods: In a prior IRB-approved prospective study, women recorded urinary pH 4 times a day and diet for a week.

Prospective Evaluation of Daily and Weekly Urine pH Variations Along With Diet Intake in Postmenopausal Women With Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections.

Objectives: Acidic urine pH may be protective against recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs). After reviewing the literature, we primarily analyzed urine pH fluctuations and secondarily compared them with diet in older women with RUTIs.

Methods: After IRB approval, postmenopausal women with documented RUTIs were enrolled.
