Ruth Kriz: I'm Ruth Kriz, I'm a nurse practitioner. I've spent the past 35 years of my life investigating and treating people with Chronic Urinary Tract Infections and Interstitial Cystitis. My patients are generally those who have had ongoing urinary tract symptoms for either months or, more often, years. They've been through the standard course of urological procedures to rule out other conditions.
They have been told that their symptoms no longer are caused by an infection because nothing grows out on a standard urine culture plate, and that they most likely have interstitial cystitis. This may be determined either by exclusion of other conditions or by more extensive testing. Then they have been given pharmaceuticals or other products to help manage their symptoms.
With DNA testing, we don't have that ambiguity, we don't have all of the human error being introduced, and we don't have the selection bias of what will or will not grow.
We know what to treat, that we didn't know before. This process of treat, retest, treat, get the bugs on the run, get the biofilms broken down, is how we're going to make the best progress.
