Ethics approval and consent to participate
: This study was approved by the University of Pennsylvania’s Institutional Review Board (Protocol 812302). Verbal informed consent was obtained from study participants, rather than written consent, because consent was obtained at the time of a follow-up phone call after the patient’s clinical visit for the UTI. Written informed consent was not feasible since the patients were no longer in the clinic/hospital when they were enrolled in the study.
: Not applicable.
