2024 WAAW丨Dr. Pengfei Shen: Why Urinary Tract Infections Trouble Women?
The third week of every November marks World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW). This year, WAAW adopts the theme: "Educate, Advocate, Act," aiming to raise public awareness about antimicrobial drugs, advocate for their appropriate use, and encourage action to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In response to this call, Oncology Frontier invited Dr. Pengfei Shen from West China Hospital of Sichuan University to provide an informative overview of female urinary tract infections (UTIs), exploring why women are more prone to these infections, common symptoms, frequently used antibiotics, and the importance of responsible medication use to prevent antibiotic resistance.
