Two common factors emerged in urine that had a better ability to resist bacterial growth: it had a high pH—one that’s more alkaline, in other words—and higher levels of certain metabolites formed by gut microbes.

Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) analysis is potentially useful for identifying pathogenic bacteria in urine from acute UTI patients but is less applicable in patients who do not meet clinical criteria for sepsis.
