The Association of Gut Microbiota With Urinary Tract Infection in Infants

The Association of Gut Microbiota With Urinary Tract Infection in Infants

This prospective case-control study will compare the gut microbiota between the infants with febrile urinary tract infection and healthy infants.

The investigators hypothesize that the gut environment reflected by intestinal microbiota influences the risk of urinary tract infection. This prospective case-control study will compare the gut microbiota between the infants with febrile urinary tract infection and healthy infants. The investigators will sequence the V3-V4 of the bacterial 16SrRNA genes from the feces and analyze the sequencing data by QIIME2.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Clinical diagnosis of febrile urinary tract infection.
• Infants

Exclusion Criteria:

• Congenital kidney disease
• Congenital heart disease
• Other metabolic disease
