Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the second most common bacterial infection, impacting around 150 million people globally each year, and although they can occur in men, women and children, due to the female anatomy, women have a higher risk for developing a UTI. The gut microbiome is thought to influence the risk of UTI in several ways. The gut microbiome is also well-known to have a strong influence on immune functioning, and an imbalance between pathogenic and commensal bacteria may affect systemic immunity, reducing defences, altering levels of inflammation and increasing susceptibility to UTIs.  

UTIs can have a significant impact on day-to-day functioning and lead to a lower quality of life. Activities such as exercise, sleep, sexual intercourse, workplace attendance, and productivity can all be affected, as can mental health, and an increased incidence of anxiety and depression is seen with UTIs. 

Therefore, IMCD has developed a synergistic solution for tackling issues related to UTIs and their link to gut health.
