Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are affecting many of our users resulting in a negative impact on quality of life. The origin of UTIs are commonly described as contamination of the urethral areas with pathogenic bacteria from the gut. However; the traditional view of urine sterility has been challenged by the discovery of the urinary microbiome; meaning a mix of bacteria and microorganisms within the urinary tract living in symbiosis with the human. An imbalance in this bacterial population may be responsible; particularly in the onset of urinary infections as well as in some other urinary tract diseases.
