Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent bacterial infections worldwide, according to a review published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. The review aims to establish a consensus on a reference standard for UTIs, which could enhance consistency across various studies. Recent discussions highlight dietary factors, particularly the consumption of meat, as potential contributors to the rising incidence of UTIs. Experts note that while eating meat does not directly cause UTIs, it may increase the likelihood of colonization by multi-drug resistant organisms, which complicates treatment options. This connection underscores the importance of considering dietary habits in public health discussions related to UTIs.
