© 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC. Aims: Urinary tract infections are one of the most common reasons for antibiotic prescription. The widespread use of antibiotic treatments contributes to the global health problem of antimicrobial resistance development. To slow down the progression of antimicrobial resistance, it is essential that we explore nonantibiotic preventive treatments for this common condition. We aim to report discussions regarding nonantibiotic preventive strategies for recurrent urinary tract infections in both catheterized and non-catheterized patients that took place at the International Consultation on Incontinence—Research Society meeting in Bristol in 2024. Methods: We undertook a think-tank session during this multidisciplinary meeting specifically designated for discussion regarding both established and emerging nonantibiotic treatments for UTI prevention in both catheterized and non-catheterized patients. This led to the generation of pertinent research questions, which hope to shape future UTI research. Results: We describe the discussions that took place and document the important research questions that were proposed during the International Consultation on Incontinence-Research Society meeting in Bristol in 2024. Conclusions: There is a range of established UTI preventative strategies for UTI prevention in both catheterized and non-catheterized patients. Emerging UTI prevention treatments have varying levels of evidence to support their use, and in many areas, further research is needed to establish their place in clinical pathways.
