Abstract
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in kidney transplant recipients, and novel prevention approaches are needed. The case presented by Le et al. (Antimicrob Agents Chemother, in press) describes a patient with recurrent UTIs due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae who was successfully treated with bacteriophage therapy. This commentary highlights the potential for bacteriophage therapy to prevent recurrent UTIs, as well as outstanding questions that require further investigation.
