Diagnosis and Treatment of Urinary Tract Infection Using DNA Polymerase Chain Reaction Versus Urine Culture (NCT06808451)
Diagnosis and Treatment of Urinary Tract Infection Using DNA PCR Versus Urine Culture - A Randomized Controlled Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Adults 18 years or older with urinary tract infection (UTI) symptoms. Participants will be assigned to either the urine culture group or the DNA PCR study group by randomization. At time of enrollment in the study they will be also asked to fill out two questionnaires. If prescribed antibiotics for treatment of a UTI, participants will then be called the day after they are scheduled to stop their antibiotics. Participants will be asked to fill out questionnaires the day after finishing antibiotics. Participants will be enrolled in the study for a maximum of 21 days.
