Article Synopsis
- The study is about asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in older people, where bacteria are present in urine but don't cause symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI).
- Researchers believe that having non-dangerous bacteria might actually help protect the bladder from harmful bacteria that can cause UTIs.
- They will collect urine samples and health information from nursing home residents over 18 months to see how ASB relates to UTIs and if it helps prevent them.
