Abstract

We performed an updated study to investigate the rates of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) who received fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for CDI. We found a significant reduction in number of UTIs after FMT compared to patients who received antibiotics for CDI treatment. After FMT, we also observed a trend towards reduction of antibiotic resistance in organisms causing UTI.
