Use DNA testing on urine cultures of women with UTI symptoms
More funding and research into UTI treatments other than antibiotics
More research into embedded UTIs and development of appropriate testing
More education on preventative measures such as D-mannose

Many women have long term urinary problems and misdiagnoses as a result of antibiotic courses that are too short to treat the infection so they come back and have repeated negative urine cultures because the test is outdated and ineffective.
